1/2 pound boneless -- skinless chicken

1 cup all-purpose flour
4 tablespoons clarified butter
1 clove garlic -- minced
2 tablespoons fresh basil -- coarsely chopped

Cut chicken into 1/2-inch strips. Flour liberally.
In a medium skillet, heat butter on high heat until hot, but not brown. Add
floured chicken strips and saute 3 minutes on each side, or until light brown
and just cooked through (no more than 5 minutes on each side).
Remove from heat and pour off excess butter. Add garlic, basil, sun-dried
tomatoes, pine nuts and spinach. Return to low heat and toss until spinach
wilts. Deglaze with wine and chicken stock. Bring to a boil. Add whipping
cream and 1 cup Parmesan cheese.
Add cooked linguine and toss until hot. Add salt and pepper to taste. Divide
equally between two bowls. Top with remaining Parmesan cheese. Makes 2
servings.
