How To Make crispy italian chicken breasts with pasta

  • 2
    Heat 2 Tablespoons vegetable oil and 1 Tablespoon butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Cook chicken breasts 3-4 minutes per side or until no longer pink. Place on a paper-towel lined plate to drain.

Add the pasta back to the pot along with the can of diced tomatoes and basil. Toss until combined. Sprinkle each serving with a little grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
