Add butter and olive oil to a pan. Saute finely diced onion and minced garlic for about a minute stirring constantly.
Add chicken cut into small pieces to the pan. Season with salt and pepper. Saute and cook for about 5 minutes or until no longer pink and cooked through.
Once the chicken breast is cooked, add canned tomato, tomato paste, hot sauce, and Italian seasoning.
Continue to cook for 2 minutes.
Add cream and stock to the mixture and cook until the sauce just begins to boil.
Add cooked pasta, stir until well combined.
Turn off the heat. Finish off with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and freshly grated Mozzarella cheese. Stir until the cheese melts and incorporates the sauce.
Serve hot with fresh parsley or fresh basil leaves.
Note: you can sprinkle little red chili flakes for added heat to help balance the richness of the creamy sauce.
