Instructions
- Boil a large salted pot of water and cook pasta al dente.

- Heat butter and olive oil in skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken about 5 minutes per side until cooked through then transfer to plate.

Notes
- I don’t recommend subbing the cream for something else like half-and-half because the tomatoes are likely to curdle the sauce
