Chicken and Artichoke Truffle Tapenade Pasta

We’re all cookers here at Pizazz but that doesn’t mean that we don’t like “cheater” recipes.  Here’s a simple pasta dish that we cheated on by using some jarred tampenade. Now that tomatoes are out of season, we love that it uses sun dried tomatoes; tomatoes and pasta, a perfect pairing.

Ingredients

1. 1 ½ tablespoons Frantoia Italian Olive Oil
2. ½ medium red onion, thinly sliced
3. ¾ cup sun-dried tomatoes, halved lengthwise, then julienned
4. 2 garlic cloves, finely minced
5. 1 (8 ounce) jar Olivier Napa Valley Artichoke Truffle Tapenade
6. ¼ cup Elki Black Olive Tapenade & Dip
7. 4 chicken breasts, boneless, skinless
8. 16 ounces linguine noodles
9. 1/3 cup chopped fresh flat leaf parsley leaves
10. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
11. Salt & freshly ground pepper, to taste
12. Shaved Parmesan

Instructions

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, uncovered, stirring often, for 8 minutes or until soft. Add the sun-dried tomato and garlic and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the artichoke tapenade and toss until heated through. Transfer to a heatproof bowl. Cover to keep warm and set aside. Wipe the pan clean with paper towel.
2. Spread the olive tapenade evenly over each side of the chicken breasts. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and reduce heat to medium. Cook for 4-5 minutes each side or until just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside for 3-4 minutes to rest. Thinly slice the chicken across the grain.
3. Meanwhile, bring a large saucepan of salted water to boil. Add the pasta and cook for as directed or until al dente. Drain and return to the pan.
4. Add the onion mixture, chicken and parsley to the pasta. Toss gently until well combined and heated through. Taste and season with lemon juice, salt and pepper. Divide among serving bowls and top with parmesan. Serve immediately.
