Sautéed Chicken in a White Wine Cream Sauce over Linguini

INGREDIENTS:
8oz. linguini pasta- cooked according to package-drain and set aside
3 boneless, skinless chicken cutlets - cut into bite sized pieces
3 large cloves garlic-minced
3 green onions-chopped 
2 Tbls. butter + 1 Tbls.
2 Tbls. extra virgin olive oil
1/4 cup flour
1 cup half n' half
1 cup dry white wine ( I used a Chardonnay)
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped parsley

DIRECTIONS:
Cook the linguini according to package direction.
While linguini is cooking make the
chicken in the white wine cream sauce...
In a large deep skillet, over med heat, saute chicken, green onions and garlic in 2 Tbls. butter and 2 Tbls. olive oil,
until chicken is no longer pink inside.
Then remove everything from skillet except drippings and small bits.
 Set aside cooked chicken mixture.
Now add the remaining 1 Tbls. butter to the pan and let melt. Add in flour and stir. Cook flour for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Then stir in wine. Cook for about 1 minute, then slowly stir in half n' half, salt and pepper to taste. Cook while stirring constantly. Sauce should become smooth and thickened. Add cooked chicken mixture back into the pan.
Stir well to coat chicken in cream sauce.
 Pour over warm cooked linguini and serve warm with grated cheese and parsley on top.
