Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Dry white wine (e.g., Sauvignon Blanc)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 12 ounces Pasta (e.g., fettuccine or spaghetti)
- 4 quarts Water
- 1 tablespoon Salt (for pasta water)
Instructions
Start by preparing the pasta: Bring 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add 1 tablespoon of salt, then add pasta. Cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
Pour in the white wine and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the wine to reduce slightly.
Lower the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Let the sauce gently simmer for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until fully melted and incorporated into the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Slice the cooked chicken breasts into thin strips.
To serve, divide the cooked pasta evenly among four plates. Top each portion with sliced chicken, then generously spoon the creamy white wine sauce over the top.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and additional grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve immediately.
