Coating and Sauce Ingredients:
- ½ cup (60 grams) flour
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 onion (chopped)
- 4 teaspoons minced garlic

- 1 tablespoon flour
- 1 cup white cooking wine
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions
- Prepare the spaghetti according to package guidelines until perfectly tender. Drain thoroughly and reserve for later assembly.
- Create a seasoning blend by mixing flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian herbs in a sealable container. Thoroughly coat chicken cutlets with the spice mixture, ensuring complete coverage.
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high temperature. Carefully place seasoned chicken cutlets into the pan, cooking until golden brown and fully cooked through. Transfer cooked chicken to a separate plate.
- Reduce skillet heat to medium and melt butter. Sauté finely chopped onions until translucent and soft. Introduce minced garlic and diced tomatoes, stirring briefly to release aromatic flavors.
- Dust the vegetable mixture with flour, stirring to create a smooth base. Pour in white cooking wine and allow the liquid to simmer, creating a thickening sauce. Incorporate Italian seasoning, salt, and red pepper flakes for depth of flavor.
- Gradually whisk heavy cream and Parmesan cheese into the sauce, continuing to stir until the mixture reaches a luxurious, creamy consistency.
- Gently fold the cooked spaghetti into the creamy tomato sauce, ensuring each strand is evenly coated. Carefully nestle the prepared chicken cutlets into the pasta mixture.
