Preparation Steps
- In a mixing bowl, coat the boneless, skinless chicken breasts with olive oil and season generously with garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Let marinate for about 10 minutes.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil, and then the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until they turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in ½ cup of dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet. Allow the wine to simmer for about 2-3 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and ½ cup of chicken broth. Let it simmer for 5-7 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Gradually stir in 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, a pinch of ground nutmeg, and chopped fresh parsley. Mix until the cheese melts and the sauce is creamy.
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the rigatoni until al dente, about 10-12 minutes. Reserve about a cup of pasta water before draining.
- Drain the rigatoni and add it directly to the skillet with the creamy sauce and sliced chicken. Toss together, adding reserved pasta water if needed.
- Transfer to serving plates, garnishing with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese. Enjoy warm.

Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To reheat, add chicken broth or cream to restore the sauce's creamy texture.
