How to make Italian Chicken Pasta in Creamy White Wine Parmesan Cheese Sauce
Step 1: Thinly slice the chicken breasts horizontally and pat dry using paper towels.
Step 2: Place the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a large bowl. Mix well. Coat both sides of the chicken breasts in the flour mixture. Press the chicken into the mixture using a fork or tongs. Set aside.
Step 3: In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the flour-coated chicken breasts to the skillet once the oil is hot and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and completely cooked. Set the chicken aside when done.
Step 4: To the pan, add the butter, diced yellow onion, and minced garlic cloves. Cook the sauce for about 2 minutes over medium-high heat until the onions and garlic are translucent. Then, add the chopped scallions and tomatoes. Next, add 1 tbsp flour and stir.
Step 5: Add the heavy cream to the pan along with the wine, Italian Seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Bring everything to a simmering point before adding in half a cup of the shredded Parmesan cheese. Mix with a whisk or wooden spoon until smooth.
Step 6: Following the package directions, cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain when done but do not rinse.
Step 7: To the skillet, add the pasta. Stir and cook for about 2 to 4 minutes over low heat. Season with more salt if needed. Place the chicken back into the skillet and cook for additional 5 minutes.
Step 8: Remove from the heat when done and serve the chicken over the pasta or next to the pasta. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
