Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil of choice
  • 2 lbs chicken tenders or thinly sliced chicken breast or thighs
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 lb angel hair pasta cooked al dente
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking oil of choice
  • 1 red bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 yellow bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 green bell pepper sliced into thin strips
  • 1 red onion sliced into thin strips
  • 3 tablespoon butter
  • 5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ½ cup chicken broth store bought or homemade
  • ½ cup dry white wine or sub with chicken broth
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • Parmesan cheese grated
  • Fresh basil finely chopped
  • Fresh parsley finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Mix the flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in a wide bowl, then coat the chicken tenders thoroughly and shake off any excess.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken tenders for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden and fully cooked; set aside covered.
  3. Meanwhile, boil salted water and cook the angel hair pasta until just tender, drain, and reserve some pasta water.
  4. Clean the skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium heat, then add sliced bell peppers and red onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.
  5. Stir in butter and garlic and cook 1-2 more minutes until fragrant and tender.
  6. Pour in the wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits, then add the chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Add cream, salt, and Italian seasoning, bring to a gentle boil while stirring frequently.
  8. Lower heat, mix in the pasta, and cook 1-2 minutes so the sauce coats everything well, adding pasta water if needed to thicken.
  9. Place the cooked chicken on top of the pasta, garnish with Parmesan cheese, basil, and parsley before serving.
