A comforting and creamy one pot meal featuring tender chicken and pasta in a rich, flavorful sauce.

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 (15 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons (30 ml) olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons (26 g) butter
  • ½ medium yellow onion, finely diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups (480 ml) chicken stock
  • ¾ cup (180 ml) half and half
  • 8 ounces (225 g) dried pasta (any shape)
  • ¾ cup (64 g) shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken by mixing ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, 2 tablespoons of Parmesan, and flour. Coat the chicken evenly.
  2. Cook the chicken in a large pot with butter and olive oil until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and keep warm.
  3. Sauté the diced onion in the same pot for about 2 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Deglaze the pot with ½ cup of chicken stock, scraping any browned bits. Stir in the remaining stock and half and half.
  5. Add the dried pasta, ensuring it’s well coated. Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer for 11-13 minutes until al dente.
  6. Stir in the remaining ½ teaspoon of Italian seasoning and ¾ cup of Parmesan cheese, allowing the sauce to thicken.
  7. Return the chicken to the pot and adjust seasoning. Serve warm with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For added flavor, consider seasoning the chicken with garlic powder or paprika. Use heavy cream for a richer sauce or add vegetables for extra nutrition.
