How to Make Linguini With Mediterranean Chicken Ragu

  1. Preheat grill to medium heat.
  2. Rinse chicken breasts and pat dry with paper towels. Trim excess fat.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  4. Place chicken breasts in the olive oil mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.
  5. Grill chicken for 7 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove from grill, wrap in foil, and let rest.
  6. While chicken rests, fill a large pot with water, add 1 teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil over high heat.
  7. Add linguini to boiling water and cook for 10-11 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  8. Drain linguini and set aside.
  9. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Remove from heat before browning.
  10. Stir in Ragú 7 Herb Tomato Sauce and heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  11. Slice the rested chicken into 1-2 inch long pieces.
  12. In a large serving bowl, combine cooked linguini and the Ragú sauce. Gently toss to coat.
  13. Fold in the sliced chicken, Kalamata olives, and arugula.
  14. Sprinkle with remaining salt and pepper, feta cheese, and toasted pine nuts.
  15. Serve immediately and enjoy!
