This easy Angel Hair Pasta recipe has a creamy Parmesan sauce with flavorful chicken. It's easy to make from scratch and will become a new family favorite!

## Ingredients (serves 4)

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons flour
- ½ cup dry white wine (see notes)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup Half and Half (half milk half cream)
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
- Parsley (to garnish)
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- ¾ teaspoon EACH: mustard powder, oregano, onion powder
- 1 large boneless skinless chicken breast
- ½ lb angel hair pasta
- Salt/pepper (or lemon pepper seasoning. See notes.)
- ¼ teaspoon EACH: salt, pepper

## Steps

1. Combine chicken broth, half and half, and seasonings and set aside
2. Measure out remaining ingredients
3. Place a measuring cup (1 cup or larger) in the colander that you'll use to drain your pasta, this will remind you to save some of the pasta water when that step arrives
4. Slice the chicken in half lengthwise to create 2 thinner slices
5. Place plastic wrap over the chicken and pound each side to about 1-inch thick, it will plump up more when cooked
6. Pat each side dry and season with salt/pepper
7. Sprinkle each chicken slice with 1 tbsp. flour and rub it over the surface of each side
8. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat
9. Add the chicken and sear until a golden crust develops
10. Set aside and let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces
11. Turn the heat off, add the wine and then set the heat to medium
12. Use a silicone spatula to clean the bottom and sides of the skillet, bring to a gentle bubble and reduce by half
13. Start boiling water for the pasta
14. Add the butter and garlic to the skillet and cook
15. Add the flour and stir continuously until the flour turns a light brown, and the raw flour smell is cooked off
16. Add the chicken broth/half and half mixture in small splashes, stirring continuously
17. Reduce heat to low and stir in the cheese
18. Cover partially
19. Salt the boiling water and add the pasta
20. Cook until no more than al dente, using kitchen tongs to lift the pasta from the water now and then to ensure the noodles aren't sticking together
21. Drain once cooked and reserve at least 1 cup of pasta water
22. Add the pasta to the sauce and use kitchen tongs to gently toss to incorporate
23. Add the chicken and stir to combine
24. If desired, add pasta water, small splashes at a time, and gently toss until desired consistency is reached
25. Garnish with parsley and serve

## Good to know

### Swaps

- No dry white wine? Use an equal amount of chicken broth instead, though the sauce will taste slightly less tangy.
- No Half and Half? Mix equal parts whole milk and heavy cream to make your own.
- No angel hair pasta? Thin spaghetti works well with this sauce; cook it to al dente per the package.
