Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
2 Tbsp Fresh Rosemary
1 Tbsp Fresh Basil
1/2 Tbsp Fresh Oregano
Salt and Pepper
1 box Linguine Pasta
1 jar(s) Sundried Tomatoes
1 jar(s) Pesto sauce
Extra (Whole) Rosemary Sprigs
1 jar(s) Roasted Minced Garlic in water
1 Loaf Any bread (we used french)
butter
shredded motzerella cheese

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350. Place Chicken breasts in a plastic zip-lock bag. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, rosemary, oregano, basil, 1 tablespoon garlic, salt and pepper. Whisk together.
  • 2. Pour marinade over chicken in bag, zip shut, and mix together so all chicken gets coated. Place in the fridge for 15 or so minutes.
  • 3. Meanwhile, begin cooking pasta (follow box instructions).
  • 4. Slice bread loaf into medium sized slices and lay out on a cooking sheet. Lightly coat (both sides) with olive oil. On top, place a small amount of butter, small amount of garlic, salt, and pepper, and then heavily coat with cheese.
  • 5. Take chicken out of the fridge and place in a sprayed 9 x 13. top with extra Rosemary sprigs and whole basil leaves. Place chicken on a middle oven rack, and the bread slices on a bottom rack. Cook chicken for 25-30 minutes, until juice runs clear and it appears done. Watch the bread so as the cheese melt and the bread toasts, but does not burn! not an exact time on this!
  • 6. Take 1/2 jar of sundried tomatoes and mix with 1/2 jar of pesto sauce. When the pasta is done cooking, strain it and mix with pesto/tomato mixture.
  • 7. Serve whole chicken breasts on top of pesto pasta with sun dried tomatoes and bread on the side. ENJOY!
