Chicken with Garlic Butter Sauce

Chicken with Garlic Basil Sauce

I love how easy this dish is. No oven time, not a lot of prep work and it’s FILLED with flavor! My husband said several times how delicious this was. The sauce simmers away on the stove while your pasta is cooking and makes you hungrier as you wait. You don’t have to use spaghetti with this, you can use your preferred go-to pasta but I thought the spaghetti was great. This is a perfect weeknight dinner!
