# Directions:
01 - Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add linguine or spaghetti and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain thoroughly and set aside.
02 - Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the sliced chicken with salt and pepper, then sauté until golden and cooked through, about 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

04 - Add cooked pasta and chicken back to the skillet. Toss thoroughly to ensure pasta and chicken are evenly coated with the sauce.
