LINGUINE & CHICKEN or ITALIAN CHICKEN
2 pounds chicken tenders, cut in half
1/3 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon each sea salt & white pepper
1 heaping teaspoon Italian Seasoning
1 teaspoon ground basil
olive oil
1 medium Vidalia onion, chopped
1 can diced tomatoes with herbs
2 teaspoons minced garlic, jar
1 1/3 cups boiling water
1 teaspoon Better than Bouillon chicken base
Fresh cooked linguine
Parmesan cheese
Garlic Bread

• Mix together the flour, sea salt, white pepper, basil & Italian seasoning.
• Coat each chicken tender well.
• In a large skillet heat enough olive oil to coat bottom well.
• Brown chicken pieces until golden on each side, but not cooked through. With a slotted spoon transfer to slow cooker.
• Add onions to oil and saute until translucent. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
• Add tomatoes, boiling water and chicken base until well blended.
• Bring to a boil.
• Pour over everything.
• Cook 4 hours on low.
• Serve over hot cooked linguine.
• Top with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and a slice of garlic bread.

You can also skip the skillet portion, but need to increase the cooking time by 1 hour. I prefer the grilled edges to the chicken and onions.

This recipe can also be made without slow cooking: but I prefer slow cooking which I believe makes for much more tender chicken pieces.

• Mix together the flour, sea salt, white pepper, basil & Italian seasoning.
• Coat each chicken tender well.
• In a large skillet heat enough olive oil to coat bottom well.
• Add onions to oil and saute until translucent. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.
• Brown chicken pieces until golden on each side and cooked through.
• Whisk together water (reduced to 2/4 cup if not slow cooking) and chicken base until well blended. Add tomatoes. Pour into skillet.
• Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 10 minutes.
• Serve over hot cooked linguine.
• Top with fresh grated Parmesan cheese and a slice of garlic bread.
