Check ingredients as you prepare them. These checks stay on this page.

• 1 ¼ cups chicken broth
• 1 cup half and half
• ½ each chicken bouillon cube
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon hot sauce
• ½ teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon basil
• ½ teaspoon parsley
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast
• 1 ¼ teaspoons lemon pepper seasoning (see notes)
• ½ cup dry white wine (see notes)
• 3 tablespoons butter
• 4 cloves fresh garlic (minced)
• 3 tablespoons flour
• ½ lb thin spaghetti
• ¾ cup parmesan cheese (freshly grated)
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• As Needed Salt

1. Sauce ingredients: 1 ¼ cups chicken broth; 1 cup half and half; ½ chicken bouillon cube; 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce; 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard; 1 teaspoon hot sauce; ½ teaspoon EACH: onion powder, dried oregano, basil, parsley. Combine the sauce ingredients in a large measuring cup with a spout and set aside. Measure out remaining ingredients before beginning.
2. Cover the chicken with saran wrap and use a meat mallet to tenderize each side. Cut it into 2-inch strips and pat it dry. Sprinkle with lemon pepper seasoning and toss to coat.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside.
4. As you continue with the following steps, bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Once a boil is reached, stir in some salt. (I use ½ tablespoon Kosher salt.)
5. Meanwhile, add the wine to the same skillet used to cook the chicken and set the heat to medium. Use a silicone spatula to “clean” the bottom and sides of the skillet, this will add more flavor to the sauce. Simmer until reduced by half, 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Add the butter and garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the flour and stir continuously for 2 minutes.
7. Add the sauce mixture (from step 1) in small splashes, stirring continuously. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Let it simmer uncovered while you cook the pasta to al dente according to package instructions.
8. When the pasta is almost done, set the heat of the sauce to low and gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese.
9. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce along with the cooked chicken and toss to coat. Let the chicken heat through for 1 minute.
10. Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Garnish with parsley and serve!
