# Instructions:
01 -
Boil a big pot of salted water and cook your pasta per the instructions on the package. Save two cups of that pasta water before draining.
02 -
In a large pan, add olive oil and melt the butter. Toss in the chicken pieces and cook for 5-6 minutes on medium heat until fully cooked.
03 -
Throw in the diced shallot and cook for about a minute. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
04 -
Sprinkle in Italian herbs, pour in the wine, and stir it around. Let it simmer for 1-2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
05 -
Stir in the cream, letting it cook for 1-2 minutes to thicken. Add the cooked pasta to the pan and mix it all together. If the sauce seems too thick, splash in some of that saved pasta water.

Mix in grated Parmesan and fresh parsley, adjusting the seasoning with salt and pepper. Serve straight away.
