Ingredients

  • 12 ounces Linguini noodles, cooked al dente per package directions

Chicken

  • 1 pound (2-3) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch-thick strips
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Sauce

  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ½ cup dry white vermouth
  • 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • ½ cup (50 g) freshly grated parmesan cheese

Instructions

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine noodles and cook al dente (according to package directions). Drain and set aside.
  • Pat chicken dry with a paper towel, cut the chicken breasts into strips, and season with salt and pepper.
  • To a large skillet over medium heat, add oil. Once hot, add the chicken strips and cook until golden brown (about 3 minutes per side). The internal temperature of cooked chicken should be 165°F.
  • Transfer the chicken to a bowl, tent with aluminum foil, and set aside.
  • To the same skillet, add garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for one minute. Remove from heat.
  • While off heat, add butter, vermouth, and lemon juice. Return the skillet to the heat. Boil until slightly thickened, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  • Add parsley and stir to combine.
  • Combine the sauce, chicken, and noodles. Toss to combine.
  • Serve topped with parmesan cheese.
