2. Season the Chicken: While the water is heating and the pan is getting hot, season both sides of the chicken breast generously with ground black pepper. Then, drizzle 1 teaspoon of olive oil over the seasoned chicken breast, ensuring it’s evenly coated.

3. Cook Pasta: Once the water is boiling, add the pasta noodles to the pot and give them a gentle stir to prevent sticking. Let the pasta cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente, then drain it and set it aside for later.

4. Cook Chicken: Carefully place the seasoned and oiled chicken breast in the hot frying pan. Cook it for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip it over and cook for another 4 minutes, or until fully cooked through and golden brown on the outside. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside to rest.

5. Prepare Sauce: In the same frying pan, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes nearly transparent.

6. Thicken Sauce: Once the onion is cooked, add the flour to the pan and stir it into a paste with the butter and onion. Then, slowly pour in the white wine, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens.

7. Add Cheese: Gradually add the grated cheddar cheese to the pan, stirring continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. If the sauce seems too thick, you can thin it out with a bit of chicken stock.

8. Combine Ingredients: Once the sauce is ready, add the cooked pasta noodles to the pan, tossing them gently until they are coated evenly in the delicious wine cheddar sauce.

9. Finish Dish: Cut the cooked chicken breast into bite-sized pieces and add them to the pan with the pasta and sauce. Gently stir everything together until the chicken is evenly distributed throughout the dish.

10. Serve: Transfer the Chicken and Pasta in Wine Cheddar Sauce to serving plates or bowls, and enjoy immediately while it’s hot and flavorful!
