Categories     Meat and Poultry Recipes     Pork

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon ground thyme
½ cup chicken broth, divided
½ pound bacon
1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
½ cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
¼ cup whipping cream
¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1 pinch red pepper flakes
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book to butterfly.
  • Melt butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, oregano, thyme. Saute until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add chicken and cook until golden brown but not fully cooked, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth into the skillet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes; chop.
  • At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and transfer chicken to a plate, reserving juices in the skillet. Keep chicken warm and place skillet on the stovetop.
  • Whisk flour into the skillet over medium heat. Add remaining chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and whipping cream. Whisk until combined. Add sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Add bacon and chicken back into the skillet. Serve on top of hot cooked pasta.
