Ingredients

  • 1 pound of Foster Farms® Organic Chicken Thin-Sliced Breast Fillets
  • 2 teaspoons organic olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 10 ounces organic linguine pasta
  • 4 tablespoons of organic butter
  • 1 tablespoon of organic lemon juice

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat.

  3. Place the chicken breasts in the pan; cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Cut the chicken crosswise into slices.
