Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed
• 1 lemon, halved
• 1 (14 ounce) can diced tomatoes
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
• 1 (16 ounce) package linguine
• 2 portobello mushrooms, chopped, or to taste
• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - thinly sliced and cut into cubes
• 0.5 cup white wine
• 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Pour white wine into chicken-onion mixture; bring to a simmer. Add tomatoes, parsley, red pepper flakes, and linguine; mix well. Simmer until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Squeeze lemon halves over mixture; toss.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine in boiling water until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes; drain.

Step 3

Heat butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion, mushrooms, and garlic in hot oil-butter mixture until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 4

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a separate skillet; cook and stir chicken in hot oil until no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes. Transfer chicken to onion mixture.
