Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Creamy Garlic Chicken with Bacon and Angel Hair Pasta.
Step 1
Begin by gathering all your ingredients and preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C).
Step 2
Take the chicken breasts and carefully butterfly them by slicing horizontally, making sure to leave a hinge so they open like a book.
Step 3
In a large, oven-safe skillet, melt some butter over medium-high heat, then toss in minced garlic, oregano, and thyme, sautéing until the aroma fills your kitchen, about 30 seconds.
Step 4
Gently place the butterflied chicken in the skillet, cooking until it turns a lovely golden brown, roughly 3 to 4 minutes per side, but don’t worry about cooking it all the way through just yet.
Step 5
Pour in 1/4 cup of chicken broth, then transfer the skillet to your preheated oven.
Step 6
Let it bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center, which should take about 15 minutes.
Step 7
While the chicken bakes, crisp up some bacon in a separate skillet over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes, then drain it on paper towels and chop it into bite-sized pieces once it cools slightly.
Step 8
In a large pot, bring lightly salted water to a boil and cook the angel hair pasta according to the package instructions, about 4 to 5 minutes, until it’s tender yet firm.
Step 9
Once the chicken is done, take it out of the oven and place it on a plate to keep warm, then return the skillet to the stovetop, reserving those delicious juices.
Step 10
Whisk flour into the skillet over medium heat, then add the remaining chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and whipping cream, stirring until everything is beautifully combined.
Step 11
Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt, then fold in the chopped bacon and the chicken, mixing it all together.
Step 12
Finally, serve this creamy chicken delight over the warm angel hair pasta, and enjoy a dish that’s sure to impress!.
