  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
  • In same skillet, melt butter. Add chopped onion and sauté 3–4 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
  • Add tomatoes and 1 tablespoon flour. Stir to combine. Add heavy cream, wine, Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes. Simmer.

Notes

For extra flavor, reserve a little pasta water and add to sauce if needed for consistency. Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3–4 days or freeze in portions. Reheat on stove or microwave until warmed through.
