Directions
- 1Boil mafaldine pasta until al dente, then drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
- 2Pat the chicken dry and season generously with paprika, oregano, thyme, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- 3Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for about 5 minutes per side until golden.
- 4Lower the heat, cover, and cook for another 10–12 minutes until the chicken reaches 165°F. Remove and let rest.
- 5In the same pan, melt the butter, then add shallots, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Stir for about a minute to release the flavor.
- 6Add the flour and stir until a paste forms, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
- 7Stir in the Parmesan cheese until fully melted and silky. If using roasted garlic, mash it and whisk it into the sauce at this point.
- 8Toss in the pasta, adding a little reserved pasta water at a time until the sauce coats evenly.
- 9Slice the chicken, add it back into the pan, stir to combine, and serve hot.
