  • Cut each chicken breast into 3 to 4 large chunks or strips.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Add onion and garlic and brown for 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, combine undrained tomatoes, tomato paste, 1/2 cup wine, mushrooms, parsley, sugar, salt, rosemary, thyme, oregano, and pepper in a medium bowl. Pour mixture over the chicken and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until chicken is cooked through and tender, 35 to 40 minutes, stirring in additional wine during cooking if needed.
  • While the sauce is cooking, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and serve with hot sauce over top.
