Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ pounds skinless boneless chicken breast halves
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground thyme
  • ½ cup chicken broth divided
  • ½ pound bacon
  • 1 16 ounce package angel hair pasta
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup freshly shaved Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup whipping cream
  • ¼ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes
  • salt to taste

Instructions
 

  • Gather ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place chicken breasts on a flat work surface. Slice horizontally through the middle, being careful not to cut all the way through to the other side. Open the 2 sides and spread them out like an open book to butterfly.
  • Melt butter in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic, oregano, thyme. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add chicken and cook until golden brown but not fully cooked, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
  • Pour 1/4 cup chicken broth into the skillet and bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the centers and juices run clear, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place bacon in a large skillet and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Drain bacon slices on paper towels and let cool enough to handle, about 5 minutes; chop.
  • At the same time, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook angel hair pasta in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
  • Remove skillet from the oven and transfer chicken to a plate, reserving juices in the skillet. Keep chicken warm and place skillet on the stovetop.
  • Whisk flour into the skillet over medium heat. Add remaining chicken broth, Parmesan cheese, and whipping cream. Whisk until combined.
  • Add sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and salt. Add bacon and chicken back into the skillet.
  • Serve on top of hot cooked pasta.
