Instructions
 

  • In a large pot, boil pasta according to the directions on the box for al dente. 
  • Place all chicken seasonings into a small bowl and mix. Paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper.
  • Pound chicken down to thin out slightly.
  • Then season the chicken on both sides with seasoning.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium heat.
  • Once hot, sear the chicken for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Once both sides are seared, flip the chicken and lower the heat slightly to medium low.
  • Place a lid on the pan and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes.
  • Once the internal temperature is 165 degrees, remove the chicken from the pan and place onto a cutting board. 
  • Place the butter into the pan and allow it to melt. 
  • Once the butter is melted, add the pasta seasonings: shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Stir well and simmer for one minute.
  • Next, add in the flour and stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream.
  • Whisk well until a smooth and creamy sauce has been formed. 
  • Pour in the Parmesan cheese and stir together until completely melted.
  • Allow it to cook, stirring occasionally until desired consistency is met. 
  • Pour in the pasta and toss well to coat evenly.
  • Add pasta water one tablespoon as a time to thin out the sauce.
  • Once that is done, slice the chicken breast and add them to the pasta.
  • Carefully stir, then serve! 

Notes

Top Tips:
  • If your sauce is too thick at the end, use the reserved pasta water to thin it out. 
  • Always salt your pasta water prior to boiling the water. 
  • Make sure you have lowered the heat before adding the butter to the pan. You don’t want the butter to burn.
  • Be sure to remove the chicken from the heat as soon as it reaches the internal temperature of 165 ℉. Do not cut the chicken while it is still hot to allow it to preserve moisture.
