Step-by-Step Instructions

Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, Italian seasoning, onion powder, and a pinch of crushed red pepper. In a separate bowl, season the shrimp with the same spices and toss until evenly coated.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the pasta. While the water heats, pat the chicken and shrimp dry so they sear properly.

Heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side, or until golden and fully cooked through to 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and let it rest.
