A creamy and comforting one-pot pasta dish made with tender chicken and savory flavors, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound (450 g) chicken tenderloins or cutlets
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning, divided
  • 2 tablespoons shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken stock
  • ¾ cup half and half
  • 8 ounces dried pasta (any shape)
  • ¾ cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: In a shallow dish, combine ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, and flour. Coat the chicken with this mixture for extra flavor and crispiness.
  2. Cook the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large Dutch oven or deep skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked. Once done, remove it from the pot and keep it warm.
  3. Cook the aromatics: Add the remaining butter and olive oil to the same pot. Sauté the diced onion for about 2 minutes until it becomes soft. Then, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  4. Deglaze and add liquids: Pour in ½ cup of chicken stock, making sure to scrape up any brown bits stuck to the pot. Stir in the remaining stock and half and half.
  5. Cook the pasta: Add the dried pasta to the pot, ensuring it’s well coated in the liquid. Bring everything to a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let it simmer for about 11-13 minutes, stirring occasionally until the pasta is al dente.
  6. Make it creamy: Stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning and ¾ cup of Parmesan cheese. Allow the sauce to thicken as it cools slightly.
  7. Finish and serve: Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt and pepper if necessary. Return the cooked chicken to the pot and serve warm with additional Parmesan cheese, if desired.
