Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 lb penne
• 5 boneless skinless chicken thighs
• 1/4 of a red onion chopped
• 7-8 garlic cloves chopped
• 1/4 cup + 2 tbsp flour divided
• 6 tbsp butter
• 3-4 tbsp olive oil
• 8 oz sun-dried tomatoes drained & chopped
• 2 tbp dijon mustard
• 2 tsp garlic powder onion powder, & paprika
• 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1/2 cup pasta water
• 3/4 cup grated pecorino romano
• 1 lemon juiced & zested
• 187 ML bottle chardonnay mini bottle
• 3 oz baby spinach chopped

Instructions

 

• Season both sides of the chicken thighs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt & pepper. Shake a 1/4 cup of flour over the chicken and pat it into both sides of the chicken.
• In a pot with olive oil, brown each piece of chicken on both sides until fully cooked. Set the chicken aside on a plate. (Clean out your pot if needed but leave some of the oil in).
• In that same pot, add in butter, and once the butter is almost fully melted shake over 2 tbsp of flour. Continuously whisk that together for about 2 minutes. Then add in the red onions and garlic, and whisk that continuously for a few minutes until the roux turns a light nutty brown color.
• Bring the pot to a boil and add in the lemon zest and chardonnay. Whisk that continuously for another few minutes so the alcohol can burn out. Then add in the lemon juice & dijon mustard, give that a stir, bring the pot to a simmer, and let that simmer for a couple of minutes.
• Add in the heavy cream, sundried tomatoes, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt & pepper. Then bring the pot to a boil and then lower it to a simmer. Let that simmer for 5-10 minutes.
• Boil the penne in salted water until al dente. (Set aside at least a 1/2 cup of pasta water).
• Chop up the chicken and leave one piece sliced for the topping.
• In the pot with the sauce, stir in the pasta water, pecorino romano, and more salt & pepper (if needed). Add in the chicken juices from the plate with the chicken, bring the pot to a boil, and lower it to a simmer.
• Then add in the al dente penne, chopped chicken, and spinach. Stir everything together and let it sit for a few minutes so it can set and thicken up. Top the pasta with the set aside sliced chicken and Enjoy!
