Method
- Pat the chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Dredge each tenderloin in the seasoned flour and shake off the excess.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken in batches for 3 to 4 minutes per side until deep golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil.
- Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta 1 to 2 minutes less than package time. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- Wipe the skillet clean and heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Saute the red onion and bell peppers for 3 to 4 minutes until slightly softened. Add the butter and garlic and stir for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the white wine and scrape up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for 3 to 4 minutes until reduced by about half.
- Add the chicken broth and cook for 2 minutes. Pour in the heavy cream, stir well, and bring to a gentle simmer. Remove from heat and gradually stir in the grated Parmesan until fully melted and smooth. Season with salt to taste.
- Add the drained pasta to the skillet and toss to coat, adding reserved pasta water a splash at a time to adjust consistency. Plate in large bowls with the golden chicken on top. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan.
Notes
No wine? Substitute with extra chicken broth plus 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice. Always grate Parmesan fresh from a block for the smoothest sauce. Toss drained pasta with a drizzle of olive oil to prevent sticking while the sauce finishes. Store components separately in the fridge for up to 3 days.
