Ingredients

  • 4 to 6 tablespoons of white truffle-infused extra-virgin olive oil
  • 6 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • 2 tsp Sicilian Sea Salt
  • 3/4 c high-quality traditional-style Italian red sauce
  • 3/4 c high-quality vodka cheese sauce
  • 1/4 c freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 fresh basil leaves chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 1 (8.8 ounce) bag Tagliatelle or other type of fettuccine pasta
  • 1 1/2 c shredded mozzarella cheese

1

Heat 3 tablespoons oil in 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and a pinch of Sicilian Sea Salt per breast and cook 10 minutes or until well browned on both sides.

In the same pan, pour sauces over chicken breasts and add 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, basil and garlic. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook 15 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the middle and has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
