Pioneer Woman's Linguine with Chicken Thighs

• Olive Oil
• 8 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, chopped into 1/2 inch pieces
• Salt
• Pepper
• 1/2 to 1 medium Onion, chopped
• 2 to 3 cloves Garlic, chopped
• 1/2 cup White Wine (or Chicken Broth)
• 2 28-ounce cans crushed tomatoes
• Pinch of Sugar
• 3 to 4 tablespoons chopped Fresh Parsley
• 8 large fresh Basil leaves, chiffonadededededed
• 1 package Linguine noodles, cooked. (Can use any pasta you’d like.)
• Fresh Parmesan Cheese, grated, in abundance

1. Boil a pot of water for the pasta. Cook linguine noodles until al dente.
2. Heat olive oil in a hot skillet, then add diced chicken thighs in single layer. Don’t stir around; just let them brown on one side. Flip over with spatula, allow to brown, then remove to separate plate.
3. In same pan, over medium heat, add onions and garlic and stir to combine. Pour in wine (or broth) then scrape bottom of pan with whisk to loosen brown bits.
4. Next, pour in crushed tomatoes, add salt, pepper, and pinch of sugar, then simmer for fifteen minutes.
5. After fifteen minutes, throw in all the cooked chicken, including its juice from the plate. Allow to simmer for fifteen more minutes. Add chopped fresh herbs at the end, then pour over cooked linguine in large bowl or platter.
6. Top with lots and lots of fresh grated Parmesan cheese.
7. Eat. Faint. Then feel grateful you’ve discovered boneless, skinless chicken thighs. Vow never to be without them again.
