Instructions

Prepare the Pasta:

Prepare the Chicken:

  • In a Ziploc bag, combine flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Add chicken cutlets, seal, and shake to coat.

  • Sauté the chopped onion until softened.
  • Add minced garlic and diced tomatoes, cooking for about 30 seconds.
  • Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stirring well.
  • Pour in white cooking wine, simmering until the sauce thickens.
  • Stir in Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes.
  • Gradually whisk in heavy whipping cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook until sauce reaches desired consistency.

Combine and Serve:

  • Toss cooked spaghetti in the sauce until well coated.
  • Return chicken to the skillet, nestling it into the pasta and sauce.
  • Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.

Notes

For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken with tofu or vegetables like mushrooms and spinach. Adjust cream for sauce thickness to taste.
