Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking spray. Whisk together the flour, salt, pepper, basil, and oregano.
Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture and coat well. In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the breaded chicken in the oil and cook for 3-4 minutes until each side is golden brown. Don't cook all the way through.
Place each browned chicken breast on the prepared baking sheet and bake for about 15 minutes, until they temp out to 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from the oven and set aside.
While the chicken is cooking, in a large pot cook the fettucini noodles according to package directions.
Wipe the skillet out and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Cook the chopped red pepper and garlic for about 2-3 minutes.
Whisk in 1 tablespoon of flour and stir constantly for one minute to create a paste.
Slowly whisk in the chicken broth and bring to a light simmer while whisking constantly until it thickens.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and cornstarch.
Add the spinach, cream mixture, and milk to the skillet. Bring this to a simmer and continue to cook until spinach starts to wilt. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
Add the fettuccini noodles to the sauce. Serve topped with breaded chicken and spoon more of the sauce on top. Enjoy!
