Mouthwatering tender chicken, al dente pasta, and gooey melted cheese!

Ingredients:

• 8 oz uncooked pasta

• 4 chicken thighs skinless & boneless, dried with a paper towel

• 2 teaspoons poultry seasoning

• salt & pepper to taste

• 2 tablespoons butter unsalted

Creamy Sauce:

• 2 tablespoons butter

• 2 tablespoons garlic finely chopped

• 2 tablespoons flour

• 1 cup chicken broth

• 1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream

• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated  plus more for garnish

• salt & pepper to taste

• 2 teaspoon dill finely chopped for garnish

Instructions:

Cook pasta according to the package.

Preheat the oven to 375F. Next, season the chicken with spices on both sides.

Melt butter in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat, add chicken, and sear for 3-5 minutes, until golden color on both sides and chicken is cooked through. Transfer onto a cutting board. Cut into bite-size pieces.

To Make Creamy Sauce:

Melt butter in the same skillet. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute, stirring a few times.

Sprinkle flour and stir continuously for 1 minute. Slowly pour in chicken broth and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring continuously, or until sauce thickens. Pour in heavy whipping cream and give it a nice stir. Add cheese, stir, and taste it, add more salt or pepper if needed.

Return chicken thighs into the skillet, and sprinkle Parmesan cheese. Bake for 15-20 minutes, uncovered or until heated through.

Garnish with dill and more cheese. Enjoy!
