• 1/2 onion, sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 c chicken broth

Preparation

Step 1

Marinate chicken in 2 T of seasoning for about 30 minutes. Heat a little oil and butter in a cast iron skillet. When it is very hot, throw down the chicken and let it sear, don't move it around (bring large pot of water to boil). Flip over after a few minutes and let brown on the other side. Remove chicken, add a bit more oil and butter to the skillet and throw on the peppers, onion and garlic and toss in a spoon of the seasoning. Let this brown for a few minutes on high heat. Remove from skillet. Pour in chicken broth and let simmer, scraping off brown bits on the pan. Let this reduce for a few minutes, then add the cream. Let this cook for a few minutes and thicken (you can boil the pasta now). Add some salt and pepper. Now slide back in the chicken and peppers and onions and let this cook for a few minutes. Toss in aldente pasta. The pasta will develop a gorgeous sheen to it. Sprinkle some chopped parsley or cilantro if you wish.
