Angel Hair Pasta with Chicken
I am a sucker for Angel Hair Pasta, and this is truly, hands-down, my NEW FAVORITE pasta recipe. If you’ve ever had my One Pot Garlic Parmesan Pasta, this is like a seriously amped up version of that. The Parmesan cream sauce with a simple blend of herbs and seasonings is sensational. The chicken is juicy and rounds out this meal perfectly. The pasta takes just 4 minutes to cook, and I like to reserve some of the pasta water to have full control over the consistency of the sauce. This way it’s not too thick, not too thin, just perfect.
How to Make It
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions. Season chicken with salt/pepper and sprinkle with flour. Sear in olive oil until golden on each side. Let rest for 10 minutes, then cut into bite-sized pieces. Deglaze with white wine (or chicken broth) and reduce by half. Add butter and garlic. Stir in flour, then add chicken broth, half and half, and seasonings in small splashes, stirring to incorporate. Stir in the Parmesan cheese.
Add cooked angel hair and chicken and toss to combine. Add splashes of pasta water and toss until desired consistency is obtained. Serve!
Storage
Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months. This does reheat pretty well, but the pasta itself (being so thin), might break slightly.

3-Quart Stainless Steel Sauté Pan– The same size as pictured in this recipe. Kitchen Tongs– To handle the chicken while it sears and to toss the pasta in the sauce. Cheese Grater– Always shred your cheese from a block for soups and sauces, it melts and tastes much better than packaged shredded cheese. Pasta Strainer– I have this one and love it. Measuring Spoons– I have these magnetic ones which stay nice and organized in my utensil drawer. Pinch Bowls– for measuring out seasonings ahead of time.
