Instructions
Making this Creamy Chicken Pasta In White Wine Sauce will require more steps than your usual one-pot pasta recipe but it is totally worth it in the end. So yummy!
- Chicken. Cut each breast into half lengthwise. Place the breasts onto a cutting board or even surface, cover with plastic wrap and pound until they become evenly flat.
- In a medium mixing bowl, add flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning (if you have smoked or simple ground paprika spice add it to the mix, it really adds a lot to the chicken). Dip each chicken breast into the mixture on both sides. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over high heat add vegetable oil and cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Set aside.
- Oven-roasted tomatoes. Meanwhile prepare the tomatoes for garnish (or do this as your last step):
OVEN-ROASTED TOMATOES
In a smaller mixing bowl, mix cherry (or plum), 1 tablespoon of olive oil, ¼ teaspoon black ground pepper, pinch of salt, ½ teaspoon garlic powder. Place them on to baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil, transfer to the oven and bake for 10-15 minutes at 390 F. Last 5 minutes turn on the top grill setting on your oven. When done, set aside and cover with foil.
- Pasta sauce. In the same skillet melt butter and then add onion and minced garlic.
- Next, add tomatoes, green onions. Add 1 tablespoon flour to the pan and stir to combine.
- Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti as per package instructions.
- Follow with cream, wine, Italian Seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Take it to a boil and then simmer for a few minutes. Add ½ cup of shredded Parmesan cheese. Gently whisk until you have a smooth mixture. Finally, fold in fresh spinach leaves and simmer until spinach reduces in size.
- When ready add the pasta to the skillet with the sauce and stir to combine on low heat for about 2-3 minutes. Return the chicken to the skillet, close the lid and let the chicken warm up before serving.

Tips making the best Creamy Chicken Pasta
- Swap the cherry tomatoes for sun-dried tomatoes to add more depth and smoky flavor.
- Don’t overcook the pasta/spaghetti, after you’ll add them to the pan they will continue to cook more in the sauce.
- If you don’t want to add alcohol to your sauce, simply add more milk, tomato sauce, or water instead of wine.
- Want a shortcut? Instead of this creamy sauce, try my Gluten Free Cream Of Chicken Soup as a substitute. Feel free to add additional spices to elevate the flavor a bit.
Can you freeze this chicken pasta?
When the dish is ready, let it cool completely and then place it into an airtight container in your fridge for up to 3 days and in the freezer for up to 2-3 months.
