Ingredients

  • 1 to 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano - divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 10 ounces penne pasta
  • ¾ stick (3 ounces) butter
  • 5-6 cloves garlic - thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups parmesan cheese - grated or finely shredded
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • fresh chopped Italian parsley - for garnish
  • salt
  • fresh cracked pepper

Instructions

  • Season the chicken breast on all sides with 1 Tablespoon oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
    1 to 2 chicken breasts, 2 tablespoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, fresh cracked pepper, salt
  • Cook penne pasta until al dente and drain it. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water.
    10 ounces penne pasta
  • Preheat a frying pan to medium-high heat. Fry the chicken in olive oil until brown and crispy on one side. Flip the chicken and reduce the temp to medium-low. Cover the pan and cook for an additional 6-10 minutes or until the chicken has reached 165 degrees. Set it aside to rest before slicing.
    2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and 1 Tablespoon oregano and cook until fragrant.
    ¾ stick (3 ounces) butter, 5-6 cloves garlic, 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • Add the flour and cook, stirring frequently for about a minute to make a roux. Pour in the white wine, and simmer while scraping all the pieces from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream, and start stirring actively so that the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. Immediately after that, add the parmesan and stir until it melts. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
    3 tablespoons flour, ½ cup dry white wine, 1 cup heavy cream, 1 ½ cups parmesan cheese, salt, fresh cracked pepper
  • Add the cooked pasta and toss it in the sauce. If the consistency is too thick, add reserved water from the pasta as needed.
  • Cut the rested chicken into slices and add it on top of the pasta. Garnish the pasta with parmesan cheese and fresh chopped Italian parsley. Enjoy!
