Ingredients You’ll Need

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Angel hair pasta
Butter
Olive oil
Garlic (minced)
Chicken broth
Heavy cream
Cream cheese
Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
Italian seasoning
Salt and black pepper
Optional: red pepper flakes or fresh parsley for garnish

Step-by-Step Method

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season both sides generously with salt, black pepper, and a touch of Italian seasoning. This helps build flavor from the very first step.

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and a small amount of butter. Once the butter melts and begins to foam slightly, place the chicken in the pan. Cook for several minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest before slicing.
