Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by seasoning the chicken thighs with salt, pepper, and some of the suggested spices (garlic powder, paprika, and oregano work wonderfully).
- 2
In a skillet, cook the chicken thighs over medium heat until they're golden brown and cooked through. You can remove them and set aside.
- 3
Use the same skillet to make your Spicy Mustard Tomato Pasta Sauce, allowing the delicious bits from the chicken to enhance the sauce.
- 4
Chop the cooked chicken and add it back to the sauce. Toss it all together with your cooked pasta.
- Garlic Powder or Fresh Garlic: For a rich, aromatic flavor.
- Onion Powder or Sautéed Onions: Adds sweetness and depth to your sauce.
- Paprika (Smoked or Sweet): This can deepen the flavor and add a touch of smokiness.
- Cumin: A hint of warmth and earthiness.
- Dried Oregano or Basil: For a lovely herbal note, especially good with tomato.
- Red Pepper Flakes: If you like it spicy, this will give you an extra kick!
- Black Pepper and Salt: Basic seasoning that enhances all flavors.
For the Chicken Thighs:
- Herbs: Using rosemary or thyme can complement the mustard and tomato flavors well.
- Lemon Juice or Zest: A splash of citrus can brighten up the whole dish.
