Chicken and Mushroom Linguine

This is an easy recipe for the mushroom lovers. A variation of this recipe that I've seen, uses country gravy (or turkey gravy), and skips the tomatoes/tomato sauce.



What you need:
2 cans of Mushrooms (mix them; ex. 1 can Portabella, 1 can of regular stems & pieces). You can use a container of fresh mushrooms, just wash then stem/slice them.
1 small Onion, sliced
2 Chicken breasts, sliced
2 cloves of Garlic, sliced
1 can of Italian Diced Tomatoes
1 can of Tomato Sauce (unseasoned)
1/2 box of Linguine
1/2 to 1 cup Fresh Basil, chopped
1 tablespoon of dried Parsley
3 tablespoons of Olive Oil
Salt and Pepper (Some directly on the chicken before you grill it, and some in the sauce to taste.)

Step 1. Boil a large pot of water with approximately 1-2 teaspoons of salt. Once boiling, add the noodles. Let these cook for 7-10 minutes. When finished, rinse in cool water then drain.

Step 2. In a saucepan, cook the sliced onion and garlic in 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat. Brown these, but do not caramelize.

Step 3. Begin to grill the chicken pieces in the other 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 4. Add the mushrooms to the saucepan with the onions and garlic. Let these grill for approximately 1-2 minutes, then add in the tomatoes, and tomato sauce. Stir.

Step 5. Add the basil, parsley and salt/pepper (to taste) to your salt. Add the cooked chicken to the sauce. Let this simmer on medium-low for about 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Serve with Parmesan Cheese.
