INSTRUCTIONS

1

Season 12 oz chicken thighs with 1/4 tsp of salt, 1/4 tsp of pepper, 1 tsp onion powder, 1 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp of thyme. Let them sit for 15 minutes.

2

Bring 4 quarts of water to a rolling boil. Add 6 oz pasta and stir occasionally. Boil until al dente (8-10 minutes) and drain immediately.

3

Sear the chicken thighs in 1 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over low heat for about 12 – 15 minutes until they’re golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pot and slice it into strips.

4

Stir-fry 8 oz mushrooms with 1/2 tbsp olive oil. Once the mushrooms are cooked, transfer them into a small bowl.

5

Add 1/2 tbsp butter to the same pot, then saute 4 oz onion and 1 tsp garlic for 3 minutes. Add in 1/3 cup flour, 1 cup chicken broth, 1/2 cup milk, and 1/4 cup heavy cream. Season the mixture with the remaining 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1/2 tsp thyme, and 1 tsp Italian seasoning. Then bring to a boil.

6

Add the pasta and mushrooms and reduce to a simmer for an extra 2-3 minutes.

7

Stir in the 0.75 oz parmesan cheese and 1 tbsp parsley to the pot. Stir so it combines into the mixture. Add chicken to the pot.

8

Serve. Garnish with fresh parsley and pepper if desired.
