Directions Light Tuscan Garlic Chicken
Directions
-
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 10 to 12 minutes, drain.
Bring a second pot of water to a boil. Cook asparagus until bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove asparagus using tongs and immediately dunk in cold water.
Mix oregano, basil, thyme, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Spray chicken breasts with cooking spray, rub herb mixture into chicken.
Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, cook chicken in the hot oil until lightly browned and no longer pink in the center, about 3 minutes per side.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat, cook and stir red bell pepper and garlic in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir buttermilk, wine, and flour into red bell pepper mixture, cook and stir until sauce is thickened, 2 to 4 minutes. Add spinach, cook until spinach wilts, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir Parmesan cheese into sauce until melted.
Run hot water over asparagus to warm. Evenly divide linguine among serving plates, top with sauce, asparagus, and chicken.
