Equipment
Ingredients
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon white pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- 1 pound chicken breasts boneless and skinless, cut into long strips
- 4 tablespoon butter unsalted, divided
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 12 ounce spaghetti or linguini
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
- In a small bowl combine together the garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, white pepper, and salt.
- In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with half the spice mixture and cook until brown, about 3 minutes. Flip the chicken over, season with remaining spices and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, until it starts to brown.
- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, the 2 cups of heavy cream, scrape the bottom of the pan a bit then and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to low and simmer until the sauce thickens a bit, 7 to 8 minutes.
- Serve over cooked pasta, garnished with parsley.

Notes
- If you can't find white pepper, regular pepper will work just fine!
- Cut Chicken Evenly – Slice the chicken into even strips so that it cooks at the same rate and stays juicy.
- Layer Your Seasoning – Adding half the spice blend before cooking and the rest when flipping builds more depth of flavor.
- Sauce Too Thick? – Stir in a splash of reserved pasta water or extra cream to loosen it up.
- Want a Lighter Version? – Swap half the heavy cream for evaporated milk or half-and-half for a slightly less rich but still creamy sauce.
- Best Pasta Choices – Spaghetti or linguini work best, but fettuccine, penne, or even zucchini noodles are great alternatives.
- Reheating Tip – Heat gently over low heat, stirring in a splash of milk or cream to refresh the sauce.
