Pour in Pinot Grigio wine, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until the wine has reduced by half, concentrating the flavors, about 5-7 minutes. (7 minutes)

05 Step

Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. (10 minutes)
06 Step

Add spaghetti and cook according to package directions, or until al dente, about 8 minutes. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water before draining. (8 minutes)
07 Step

09 Step

Remove the lid, turn the chicken over, and continue cooking until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), about 5 minutes more. (5 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View
Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat, ensuring every strand is glistening with flavor.
11 Step
Recipe View
If the sauce is too thick, add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until it reaches your desired consistency.
12 Step
Recipe View
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese.
For an even richer flavor, consider using browned butter. Cook the butter a few minutes longer until it turns a nutty brown before adding the olive oil.
A squeeze of lemon at the end really brightens the dish.
Don't overcook the chicken; it should be tender and juicy.
If you don't have Pinot Grigio, a dry Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay will also work well.
Add some sautéed vegetables, such as spinach or bell peppers, for a heartier meal.
