Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by horizontally slicing the thin boneless skinless chicken breasts to ensure they cook quickly and evenly. Pat them dry with a paper towel, then dredge each piece in a seasoned flour mixture of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the dredged chicken in the skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until they achieve a beautiful golden brown color and are cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium and add butter, allowing it to melt. Toss in chopped yellow onion and sauté until translucent, around 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and diced tomatoes. Sprinkle a little flour into the mixture and pour in white wine. Let it simmer for a minute before adding heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- While the sauce simmers, bring a pot of salted water to a boil and cook the spaghetti according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve a cup of pasta water and drain.
- Once the sauce is creamy, add cooked spaghetti to the skillet and toss it with the sauce on low heat for about 2-4 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached. Return the chicken to the skillet and heat through for another minute.
- Serve the creamy chicken pasta on plates, placing the tender chicken atop or beside the spaghetti. Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and additional crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
