Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 5 to 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs cut into ~1 inch pieces
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 1 head garlic minced
- 2 cups pasta shells
- 1½ cups chicken stock
- ½ cup milk
- ½ cup parmesan cheese or more
- 1 to 2 cups peas fresh or frozen
- optional: red pepper flakes and more parmesan to top off the pasta
Instructions
- In a large pot or dutch oven, melt butter over medium heat. Add in chicken thighs. Season with salt and pepper and brown the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side.
- Add in the garlic and sauté for another 2 minutes.
- Add in the pasta, chicken stock, and milk and increase the heat until the liquid starts to boil.
- Lower the heat back down to a simmer and let the pasta cook for 8-9 minutes, stirring occasionally so nothing gets stuck to the bottom.
- Add in the parmesan and peas, stir and let cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the pasta has cooked through.
- Top off with some red chili flakes and shaved parmesan if you wish before serving.
