Tomato-Basil Linguine with Chicken

It's been a while since I have posted so I thought I would try to get back into the swing of things and get creative. Although this isn't the usual kind of post I would write, it's still somewhat creative. If you knew me, you would know that I despise cooking and would rather starve. I know it's sad but it's true, I hate cooking so when I cook it's a challenge for me so I thought since what I made turned out I would post it, just in case there is someone else out there like me. Anyways, hope you enjoy the recipe, it's super easy and yummy too!
