Ingredients
1 lb dried linguini
1 lb chicken breast, boneless skinless
2 T. olive oil
1 T. chopped garlic
4 medium tomatoes, seeded and diced
1 cup chicken broth or stock
24 basil leaves, chiffonade
3 green onions, chopped
¼ cup butter
salt and white pepper
8 oz fresh mozzarella, diced
Method
On a bbq grill, George Foreman-type
grill, or under broiler, cook chicken
breast until done. Chill and cut or
pick chicken into bite-sized pieces
and set aside. In salted boiling water,
cook pasta until al dente. While pasta
is cooking, in a large sauté pan over
medium heat sauté garlic in the olive
oil until garlic just start to brown.
Add chicken and diced tomatoes and sauté
for a minute or two. Deglaze with chicken
stock, green onions and basil. Reduce
stock by about half and add butter just
to melt. Season with salt and pepper.
Drain pasta in colander and reserve
just a bit of water. Add pasta and
bit of water to chicken mixture and
toss. Plate on 4-6 pasta bowls and
finish with diced mozzarella on top.
