How To Make Italian Chicken Pasta:
- Cook the Pasta: Cook the spaghetti noodlesaccording to package directions. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
- Prepare & Cook Chicken: In a Ziploc bag, combine the ½ cup of flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, ¼ teaspoon of pepper, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. Shake to combine. Add the chicken cutlets to the bag and shake to coat each piece well. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté until browned on each side and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Add the diced tomatoes and minced garlic, and sauté for about 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the 1 tablespoon of flour and stir to combine. Whisk in the heavy whipping cream, Parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, ½ teaspoon of salt, and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens.
