Ingredients
For cooking chicken:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (halved horizontally and
paper towel dried) - 1/2 cup flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Pasta:
- 12 oz of spaghetti
White Wine Parmesan Sauce:
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 small yellow onion (or use 1/2 onion) chopped
- 4 garlic cloves minced
- 2 scallions chopped
- 2 small tomatoes diced
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup white wine
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese shredded
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt more to taste
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
- PREPARING CHICKEN BREASTS: Make sure to cut chicken breasts
horizontally to make them thin. Paper towel dry the chicken. - In a large bowl, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic
powder and Italian seasoning. Stir well to blend. Using a fork or tongs, coat
the chicken breasts in the flour mixture by pressing into the mixture with
tongs and then flipping the chicken over to coat the other side. Set aside. - COOKING CHICKEN BREASTS: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in
a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, place flour
coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side,
until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, turning once between
cooking, about 8-10 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside. - SAUCE: Add butter, diced yellow onion and minced garlic
cloves to pan. Cook on medium high until onions and garlic are translucent,
about 2 minutes. Next add chopped scallions and tomatoes. Add 1 tablespoon
flour to pan and whisk to combine. - Now add heavy cream, wine, Italian Seasoning, salt and red
pepper flakes. Bring mixture to a simmering point and then add ½ cup of
shredded Parmesan cheese. Use a whisk or a wooden spoon and mix it in until you
have a smooth mixture. - COOKING PASTA according to your package instructions in
salty water. I like pasta that is neither too hard nor too soft, so I always
cook it Al Dente. Drain, but do not rinse. - FINAL ASSEMBLY: Add cooked pasta to the skillet with the
sauce and stir to combine on low heat for 2-4 minutes. Taste and add salt, if
needed. Return chicken to skillet on top of the pasta and allow it to warm up
for an additional 5 minutes. - SERVE chicken either on top or next to pasta and sprinkle
with Parmesan cheese, if desired.
