Instructions
1οΈβ£ Prepare the Chicken:
In a large shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until evenly combined. π₯£
Coat the chicken tenders in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess flour. π
In a large cast iron skillet or frying pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil and heat over medium-high heat. π³
Pan fry the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature 165Β°F). π₯
Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm. π₯©
2οΈβ£ Prepare the Pasta and Sauce:
As the chicken is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta according to package directions until al dente. π
Reserve one cup of pasta water, drain the pasta, and set aside. π§
Wipe the skillet clean with a paper towel. On medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of oil. π§½
Add in the sliced bell peppers and red onion. SautΓ© for 3-4 minutes, stirring often. π₯
Add the butter and minced garlic to the pan and sautΓ© for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until all of the vegetables are tender. π§π§
Pour the chicken broth into the pan and scrape the bottom to remove any browned bits. π²
Add the cream, salt, and Italian seasoning, then bring to a light boil, stirring frequently. π²πΆ
Reduce the heat to low and add the cooked pasta. Mix until evenly coated in the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes. π
If needed, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to thicken the sauce. π§
