- Wheat

Adulting means a lot of things: constantly editing your resume, paying rent, filling out tax forms...and making a (preferably delicious) dinner. And while we can’t speak to paying your taxes (any tax preparers reading this??), we can definitely help you make a darn tasty meal! This week, learn how simple it is to make creamy, dreamy linguine (the only hard part is saying that five times fast) topped with herby seared chicken breast. Take a bite, pat yourself on the back, and save those other chores for tomorrow. It’s not procrastination, it’s self care.

Cooking Steps
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Peel garlic. Thinly slice 2 cloves (4 cloves for 4 servings) and finely chop remaining clove (2 cloves for 4). Dice tomato.
Place chicken in a medium bowl; pat dry with paper towels. Add a large drizzle of olive oil, chopped garlic, half the Tuscan Heat Spice (you’ll use the rest later), salt, and pepper; turn chicken to thoroughly coat. Set aside. Once water is boiling, add pasta to pot. Cook until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water (1 cup for 4 servings), then drain.
While pasta cooks, heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, 6-8 minutes per side. (If chicken begins to brown too quickly, lower that heat!) Turn off heat; transfer chicken to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, thinly slice crosswise.
Melt 2 TBSP butter (4 TBSP for 4 servings) in same pan over medium heat. Add sliced garlic; cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add tomato, remaining Tuscan Heat Spice, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until softened, 2-3 minutes.
Stir cream cheese, half the Parmesan (save the rest for serving), and half the reserved pasta cooking water into pan with tomato mixture. Bring to a simmer, then stir in drained pasta. (If needed, stir in more pasta cooking water a splash at a time until pasta is coated in a creamy sauce.) Turn off heat; taste and season with salt and pepper.
Divide creamy tomato linguine between plates. Top with sliced chicken and remaining Parmesan.
