● Heat the Oil: Get your party started by heating the olive oil in your large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

● Brown the Chicken: Add the chicken pieces and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown on all sides. Remove the chicken from the pot with a slotted spoon and set it aside on a plate.

● Sauté the Sausage and Onions: Add the sliced sausage to the pot and cook for 3-4 minutes, until it starts to brown. Toss in the chopped onion and cook for another minute, or until softened. These browned bits add richness to the sauce, so don’t skip this step!

● Deglaze (Optional): If you’re using white wine, pour it in now and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine simmer for 1-2 minutes, or until slightly reduced. This deglazing step adds another layer of flavor.

● Creamy Magic: Now comes the good part! Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using).

● Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is slightly thickened.

● Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Trust your taste buds here and adjust the seasonings as needed.

● Return the Chicken: Add the cooked chicken back to the pot with the creamy Alfredo sauce.

● Cook the Pasta: While the sauce simmers, cook your chosen pasta according to package instructions in a separate pot of boiling salted water.

● The Grand Finale: Once the pasta is cooked, drain it well and add it directly to the pot with the sauce and chicken. Toss everything together until well combined. This is where the magic happens!

● Plate and Enjoy: Portion out the deliciousness onto plates and garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve immediately and savor every creamy, flavorful bite!
