Boneless Chicken Thighs pesto pasta
a quick one for those lazy or busy days.
Ingredients:
8 boneless chicken thighs
Salt, to taste
Garlic powder, to taste
Oregano, to taste
Paprika, to taste
16 ounces (450g) fettuccini pasta
1 cup store-bought pesto
Parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Olive oil
Instructions:
Season the boneless chicken thighs with salt, garlic powder, oregano, and paprika. Rub the seasoning evenly onto both sides of the chicken thighs.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Place the seasoned chicken thighs in the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are browned and cooked through. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set it aside to rest.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the fettuccini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
In the same large pot used to cook the pasta, add a bit more olive oil if needed. Add the cooked fettuccini pasta and stir it around, coating it with the residual flavors from the chicken
add the pesto sauce to the pot. Stir well to coat the pasta evenly with the pesto.
Slice the rested chicken thighs into thin strips or bite-sized pieces.
Serve the pesto fettuccini pasta in bowls or on plates, and top with the sliced chicken thighs. Optionally, garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil leaves.
Enjoy your flavorful Pesto Fettuccini Pasta with Seasoned Boneless Chicken Thighs cooked on a skillet!
