Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5–2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound angel hair pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

  • 1 medium green bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3–5 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
