  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth

Method
 

Cooking the Pasta
  1. In a large pot, boil pasta according to the directions on the box for al dente.
Preparing the Chicken
  1. Place all chicken seasonings (paprika, oregano, garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper) into a small bowl and mix.
  2. Pound the chicken down to thin out slightly. Then, season the chicken on both sides with the seasoning mix.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil on medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken for 5 minutes on each side.
  2. After both sides are seared, flip the chicken and lower the heat slightly to medium-low. Cover the pan with a lid and cook for an additional 10-12 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  3. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it onto a cutting board.
Making the Sauce
  1. Add the butter to the pan and allow it to melt.
  2. Once melted, add the pasta seasonings: shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir well and simmer for one minute.
  3. Add the flour and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Whisk until a smooth and creamy sauce forms.
  5. Stir in the parmesan cheese until it’s completely melted. Allow it to cook, stirring occasionally until the desired consistency is reached.
Combining Pasta and Chicken
  1. Add the pasta and toss well to coat evenly. Add pasta water one tablespoon at a time to thin out the sauce.
  2. Slice the chicken breast and add it to the pasta. Carefully stir, then serve!

Notes

Serve warm, garnished with extra parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired. This dish pairs well with a simple side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal. To store leftovers, let the pasta cool completely. Place it in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of cream or broth to loosen the sauce. Make sure to check the chicken's internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure it’s cooked through. If you want a little extra kick, add red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix. You can replace gluten-free pasta with your favorite regular pasta if gluten is not a concern.
