Delicious Chicken Pepperoni with Linguine

Ingredients:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 8 oz linguine pasta
  • 1 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Start by boiling a large pot of salted water. Once it’s bubbling like a hot spring, toss in the linguine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. While the pasta is doing its thing, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Add them to the skillet and sauté for about 6-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and fully cooked. Yummy!
  3. Once the chicken is cooked, remove it from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes. After it has cooled, slice it into bite-sized pieces. Trust us, you’ll want these little nuggets of joy!
  4. In the same skillet, add the marinara sauce and the sliced pepperoni. Let it simmer for a couple of minutes, allowing those flavors to mingle and throw a flavorful party!
  5. Now, it’s time to bring the gang together! Toss the cooked linguine into the skillet with the sauce and pepperoni. Give it a good stir to coat the pasta with the scrumptious sauce.
  6. Finally, add the sliced chicken on top, sprinkle the mozzarella cheese, and cover the skillet until the cheese is melted and bubbly – about 2-3 minutes. That’s when the magic happens!
  7. Garnish with some fresh basil if you’re feeling fancy, and serve immediately. Your friends and family will be left in awe of your culinary prowess. Bon appétit!
