How to make Italian Chicken Pasta in Creamy White Wine, Parmesan Cheese Sauce
Step 1: Horizontally cut the chicken breasts, making the pieces thin. Alternatively, use thin chicken breasts, then pat them dry with a paper towel.
Step 2: Place the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Mix well until blended. In the flour mixture, place the chicken breasts and coat using tongs or a fork, pressing each chicken breast, flipping once until all sides are covered. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. To the hot oil, sear the flour-coated chicken breasts for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until all sides are golden brown and the chicken breasts are completely cooked, flipping once. When done, set the seared chicken breasts aside.
Step 4: To the pan, add the butter along with the diced yellow onion and minced garlic cloves. Cook for about 2 minutes over medium-high until the onions and garlic are translucent. Then, add the scallions along with the tomatoes and 1 tbsp flour. Stir well until combined.
Step 5: To the pan, add the heavy cream, wine, Italian Seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring everything to a simmering point before adding a half cup of the shredded Parmesan cheese. Mix well using a wooden spoon or whisk until the mixture is smooth.
Step 6: Following the package directions, cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta when done, but DO NOT RINSE.
Step 7: To the skillet with the sauce, add the cooked pasta. Stir and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes over low heat. To taste, season with salt. On top, lay the chicken and allow it to warm up for about 5 minutes more.
Step 8: You can serve the chicken next to the pasta or on top and sprinkle it with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
