Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large pot, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pound to desired thickness.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk flour, garlic salt, pepper, paprika and Slap Ya Mama seasoning together.
  • Coat each piece of chicken into the flour mixture and coat both sides.
  • In a large flying pan, heat butter and oil over medium high heat and place 2-3 pieces of chicken into the pan.
  • Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°. Remove from the pan and place on a plate.
  • After all the chicken has been cooked, add garlic, stir for a minute, then add chicken broth, heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Stir to combine and cook over medium heat. Bring to a boil and add red pepper flakes, oregano, basil, parsley flakes and sun dried tomatoes into sauce.
  • Stir, and reduce heat to low and let simmer for 5 minutes or so.
  • Serve chicken over pasta and top with sauce.

Notes

More Recipe Tips:
  • Pound Evenly for Juiciness: Make sure your chicken is an even thickness before cooking—this helps it cook evenly and stay tender.
  • Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Give the chicken space to sear properly. Crowding the pan lowers the temperature and makes the breading soggy.
  • Cook Pasta to Al Dente: Slightly firm noodles hold up better when topped with the creamy sauce and won’t turn mushy.
