Chicken (for Fettuccine)

4-5 chicken breasts cut-up                                     

2 TBS. olive oil                                                 

2 TBS. butter                                                         

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper  

1/4 tsp. dry basil leaves

                                     

Put olive oil, butter, salt, pepper, and basil in frying pan and heat to medium-high heat.  Add chicken and cook “hot and fast”—this makes the chicken tender.  Be careful with heating butter and oil not to burn the butter.  Check to make sure chicken is cooked through.  Remove from heat and put over fettuccine noodles, and top with alfredo sauce.
