450 g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into strips

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

480 ml heavy cream
09 -
340 g spaghetti or linguini

# Instructions:
01 -
Combine garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, white pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
02 -
Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a 30 cm stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add chicken strips, season with half the spice blend, and sear for about 3 minutes until golden.
04 -
Flip chicken strips, sprinkle over the remaining spice blend, and continue cooking for 2–3 minutes until browned and cooked through.
05 -
Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the heavy cream to the skillet. Use a spatula to scrape any browned bits from the base, then bring sauce to a gentle boil.
06 -
Reduce heat to low and simmer for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until sauce has thickened slightly.
07 -
Plate the cooked pasta and top with chicken and sauce. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
# Notes:
01 -
If white pepper is unavailable, substitute with black pepper.
02 -
Slice chicken into uniform strips to ensure even cooking.
03 -
Layering seasoning before and after flipping chicken intensifies the overall flavor.
04 -
If the sauce becomes too thick, add a splash of reserved pasta cooking water or extra cream to adjust consistency.
05 -
For a lighter dish, replace half of the heavy cream with evaporated milk or half-and-half.
06 -
Fettuccine, penne, or spiralized zucchini make suitable alternatives to spaghetti or linguini.
07 -
When reheating leftovers, warm gently over low heat and incorporate a splash of milk or cream to refresh the sauce.
