1 tsp olive oil

Instruções

Start by flattening your chicken breasts for even cooking. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chicken with paprika, garlic salt, oregano, wholegrain mustard, Dijon mustard, and honey. Mix until the chicken is well coated. This marinade infuses the chicken with a sweet, tangy, and herby flavor, making every bite delicious. Let the marinade sit for 10 minutes while you chop the shallot, mince the garlic and grate the parmesan.

Heat some olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and caramelized. Remove from the pan and keep warm in the oven on low heat while the sauce cooks or set aside.

Begin boiling the rigatoni in salted water according to the package instructions. In the same pan the chicken was in or a separate pan, add butter and let it melt, incorporating the flavorful bits left behind by the chicken. Sauté the shallot over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes until soft and fragrant, then add minced garlic, oregano, and chili flakes, and stir for an additional minute.

Pour in the heavy cream, season with salt and pepper, add 1 tsp mustard, then stir well. Slowly add the grated parmesan along with a small ladle of pasta water, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes smooth.

Toss the cooked rigatoni into the sauce, adding a little pasta water if needed to reach your desired consistency. The ridges in the rigatoni help the sauce cling to the pasta, ensuring maximum flavor in every bite.

Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top of the rigatoni. Garnish with extra parmesan and some fresh parsley.
