Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil 30 milliliters
- 1 pound chicken thigh boneless skinless
- salt to taste
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
- 1 pound farfalle pasta or other medium shape pasta, dried
- 1 onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and minced
- 1/2 cup water cooking water from pasta
- 2 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- lemon zest from 2
- 1/3 cup lemon juice freshly squeezed
- 2 ounces Parmesan Cheese plus more for garnish, freshly grated
- parsley for garnish, fresh
Instructions
- In a large skillet, drizzle the olive oil over medium heat.
- Season the chicken thighs on each side with salt and pepper.
- Once thoroughly heated, add the chicken thighs in a single layer. You may have to do this in batches.
- Once golden brown, flip the chicken and cook the other side until golden. Remove to a plate and allow to rest for about 5-10 minutes before cutting into thin slices.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the pasta and cook until barely tender, al dente. Remove and set aside 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) of the cooking water before draining.
- Place the large skillet back over medium heat and add another splash of olive oil if needed.
- Add the onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened.
- Stir in the garlic and cook until just fragrant, 30 seconds to 1 minute.
- Pour in the reserved 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) pasta water, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to remove any browned bits.
- Pour in the chicken stock and bring to a simmer.
- Add the sliced chicken thighs and continue to cook until heated through and the liquid has reduced by half.
- Toss in the cooked pasta and the heavy cream. Once heated through, stir in the lemon zest and juice. Adjust flavors to taste, adding more salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove from heat. Once the mixture has stopped simmering, stir in the freshly grated Parmesan until well coated.
- Serve immediately with parsley for garnish and an additional sprinkling of Parmesan if desired.
