Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken breasts cut into small strips
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion diced
- 6 Roma tomatoes seeded and diced small
- 6 garlic cloves minced
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups cream
- 8 ounces spaghetti broken in half
- 1 cup parmesan cheese finely grated
- Small bunch fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- In a large deep sided skillet set over high heat, add half of the butter until it sizzles, about one minute. Add the chicken (in batches if you have to, as you don't want to crowd the pan). Cook for about 4 - 5 minutes or until browned. You aren't looking to cook it all the way. Remove from pan and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the olive oil and onions. Stir well and let cook for 4 - 5 minutes. Add 1/2 of the diced tomatoes and stir well for about 1 - 2 minutes. Add the minced garlic and all the dried spices. Stir well and let cook for about another minute. Add the remaining butter and flour and stir really well.
- Add the chicken broth and cooking cream to the pan. Whisk really well to prevent any lumps. Bring to a simmer and let thicken for 1- 2 minutes.
- Add the chicken to the pan along with the uncooked pasta and stir really well to completely coat. Cover and leave to cook for about 15 minutes. Stir a few times through cooking to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Reduce heat to low and add the Parmesan cheese, remaining tomatoes and fresh parsley. Stir well. Season with extra salt and pepper if desired.
