Ingredients
- 2 cups penne pasta uncooked
- 2 chicken breast organic boneless skinless
- 2 tablespoon flour + 1 tablespoon of flour for white sauce
- ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
- ¼ teaspoon dried rosemary
- ¼ teaspoon dried oregano
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup white wine
- 1 cups chicken stock
- 1 ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 tablespoon organic parsley finely chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- Cook pasta according to the directions on the package.
- In a mixing plate mix together flour, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, rosemary, oregano, ½ teaspoon Kosher salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
- Pat chicken breast dry with paper towel, then season with ½ teaspoon Kosher salt and pepper, to taste. Dredge chicken breast in bread crumbs.
- Preheat olive oil on a medium heat in oven-proof skillet (this is the one I use from Amazon https://amzn.to/2SqdRl3). Add chicken breast and sear for about 3 minutes on both sides or until golden color (in this step you want to get the flavorful golden sear, the chicken breast will finish cooking in the oven). Remove chicken to a plate.
- Using the same skillet, on a medium heat, add butter. After butter melts add 1 tablespoon of flour and stir for 1 minute. Now pour in white wine and cook for about 1-2 minutes, or until reduces in half. Pour in chicken stock, bring it to a boil and cook on medium heat for 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Stir in heavy whipping cream.
- Place cooked pasta into the sauce & seared chicken breast over the pasta, sprinkle parmesan cheese over the chicken and pasta, bake in the oven uncovered for about 12 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink inside.
- Cut chicken breast into strips, return back to the skillet. Garnish with fresh parsley. Enjoy!

Notes
- Brown the chicken and make the sauce while the pasta cooks to save time.
- Drain the pasta well before adding it to the pan to avoid a watery sauce.
- Add baby spinach to the sauce for greens.
