Linguine With Spicy Chicken Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Add chicken to skillet and sauté until cooked through and beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Using slotted spoon, transfer chicken to bowl. Add green onions, 1/3 cup cilantro, pecans, garlic, jalapeño and dried red pepper to same skillet. Sauté until green onions wilt, about 2 minutes. Add pesto, chicken and any accumulated juices; stir to blend. Remove from heat.
• Meanwhile, cook linguine in large pot of boiling salted water until tender but still firm to bite. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup cooking liquid.
• Bring sauce to simmer. Add linguine and reserved cooking liquid to sauce and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to large bowl. Sprinkle with additional cilantro. Serve, passing Parmesan separately.

Steps:

• Cook and drain linguine as directed on package.
• Meanwhile, in 12-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Cook garlic, anchovy paste, chile and tomatoes in oil about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until garlic just begins to turn golden.
• Stir in oregano, chicken, bell peppers and wine. Cover and cook about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until chicken is no longer pink in center.
• Add linguine and 1/4 cup of the cheese to mixture in skillet; toss until linguine is evenly coated. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
