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.
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.
