Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 boneless skinless chicken thighs
  • 3/4 tbsp smoked sweet paprika
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 3/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp sun-dried tomato oil
  • 12 oz farfalle pasta
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat and cook the chicken until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes per side.
