Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts
  • 2 Tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 6 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 Tablespoons flour
  • 1 ½ cups chicken stock
  • ¼ cup white wine
  • ½ cup heavy cream or half and half
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 Tablespoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pound fettuccine
  • ½ cup roasted red peppers strips or chopped (or 1 fresh red bell pepper)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (or 1 cup frozen)
  • 2 heads roasted garlic

Notes

  • The restaurant used malfadine pasta (fettuccine with wavy edges) but regular fettuccine works well as a substitute. If using a fresh red bell pepper instead of roasted red peppers, add it during the simmering step. Roasted garlic adds a wonderful depth of flavor—consider making extra to keep in the fridge for future recipes.
