8 oz pasta uncooked
2 tablespoons butter
4 chicken thighs boneless/skinless dried with paper towel
2 teaspoons poultry seasoning divided, I like to use 21 Salute Seasoning from Trader Joe's
sea salt & pepper to taste

Cook pasta according to the package. Preheat the oven to 375F. Season chicken thighs with poultry spice, salt & pepper on both sides.
Add butter to oven safe skillet and melt over medium heat. Once melted add chicken thighs and sear for 5-7 minutes on one side without moving it, flip on the other side and sear for 7-10 minutes or until chicken is cooked thru. Transfer onto a cutting board, let cool. Then slice into slices.

Into the same skillet add butter. Once melted add garlic and saute for 1 minute, stirring few times.
Add flour and stir continuously for 1 minute. Slowly stir in chicken broth and cook for 1-2 minutes stirring continuously, or until sauce thickens. Stir in heavy whipping cream. Stir in cheese and season with sea salt and pepper, to taste.
Into the sauce add cooked pasta, sliced chicken, and grate Parmesan cheese over the top, to taste. Bake for 15-20 minutes, uncovered or until heated thru. Garnish with dill and more cheese. Enjoy!

I love cooking my pasta al dente because it keeps that perfect bite and doesn’t get mushy in the oven!
If you’re not a fan of chicken breasts, no worries at all—you can easily use leftover cooked chicken or grab a rotisserie chicken to save some time.
Now, if you like a little kick, feel free to sprinkle in some red pepper flakes. It adds a nice zing!
And if your sauce seems too thick, just give it a splash of chicken broth to loosen it up. But if it turns out a bit too thin, don’t hesitate to toss in some extra Parmesan cheese. It’ll thicken things up and add a delicious, cheesy flavor! Enjoy your cooking!
