Instructions

Cook the angel hair pasta according to package instructions in salted boiling water. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
Dredge the chicken tenderloins in seasoned flour (flour mixed with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper) and sear them in olive oil over medium heat until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté sliced onions and bell peppers for 2-3 minutes. Add crushed garlic and cook until fragrant.
Deglaze with white wine, simmering for 4 minutes. Stir in reserved pasta water and whipping cream; add Parmesan cheese.
Toss cooked pasta into the sauce, add chicken back to the skillet, garnish with parsley, and serve warm.
