How to make it

Steps in our own plain words.

Heat ¾ tsp of butter plus 1 ½ tsp of olive oil in a big pan over medium-high heat.
Season both sides of every chicken breast using seasoned salt and a pinch of pepper.
Add the chicken to the pan.
Heat for 5-7 minutes on each side, until cooked through.
While the chicken is cooking, bring a big pot of water to a boil.
Season the boiling water with some generous pinches of kosher salt.
Add the pasta and give it a mix.
Cook, until al dente, about 12 minutes.
Stir every so often.
Reserve 2 tbsp pasta water before draining the pasta.
Remove the chicken from the pan.
Move it to a cutting board.
Let it rest.
Turn the heat down to medium plus dd the rest of the ¾ tsp of butter plus olive oil to same pan you used to heat the chicken.
Add the veggies and red pepper flakes to the pan.
Mix to coat with the oil and butter.
Cook, till the veggies are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir often.
Add your garlic plus a generous pinch of salt plus pepper to the pan.
Cook for 1 minute.
Deglaze the pan with the white wine.
Continue to heat till the wine has reduced by half, around 3 minutes.
Stir in reserved pasta water, heavy cream and the milk.
Bring the mix to a gentle boil and let it simmer.
Reduce for 2-3 minutes.
Turn off the heat.
Add the Parmesan cheese and cooked pasta.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Top with Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if wanted.
