- Preheat a pan to medium heat, add 3-4 tablespoons of olive oil and add the bacon mixture to the pan.
- Saute until the onions become translucent.
- Reduce heat, add 1/2 cup of white wine.
- Once the alcohol in the wine has cooked off add the cream to the mixture.\
- Let the sauce simmer at a very low temperature. Until you arrive at the desired consistency.
- Your sauce is ready once the cream has reduced by half.
While your sauce is cooking, you should be simultaneously grilling your chicken breasts and cooking your spaghetti. Depending on you comfort in the kitchen, you may want to grill the chicken and make the pasta ahead of time.
For Chef D's presentation he put the pasta on the plate first. He then poured a generous serving of cream sauce on top and finally topped the plate with sliced chicken. Delicious!
