Ingredients

680 g skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

30 g butter

3 cloves garlic, minced

2.5 g dried oregano

1.25 g ground thyme

120 ml chicken broth, divided

225 g bacon

450 g angel hair pasta

15 g all-purpose flour

120 g freshly shaved Parmesan cheese

60 ml whipping cream

60 ml chopped sun-dried tomatoes

1 pinch red pepper flakes

salt to taste

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts on a flat surface and slice horizontally through the middle without cutting all the way through. Open the 2 sides like a book to butterfly the chicken.

Step 3

In a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add garlic, oregano, and thyme. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the chicken and cook until golden brown but not fully cooked, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Step 5

Pour 120 ml of chicken broth into the skillet and bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the centers and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain the bacon on paper towels, let it cool, and then chop it.

Step 7

At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook the angel hair pasta until tender yet firm to the bite, about 4-5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken to a plate, keeping the juices in the skillet. Keep the chicken warm and place the skillet on the stovetop.

Step 9

Whisk the flour into the skillet over medium heat. Add the remaining chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and whipping cream. Whisk until combined.

Step 10

Add sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Return the chopped bacon and chicken to the skillet.

Step 11

Serve the creamy chicken mixture on top of the hot cooked pasta.
