Instructions
- Season chicken with salt. In a large deep-frying pan, heat the oil on high, when hot, sear seasoned chicken thighs until nicely brown all over, turn down the heat to medium and cook for 10-12 minutes or until cooked through (turn halfway).
- Once the chicken Is cooked, remove into a bowl and shred using two forks- set aside for later.
- Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil, add the pasta and cook with pack instructions. Once cooked, drain reserving half a mug of cooking water.
- In the same pan that the chicken was cooked in, sweat the garlic for a minute with all the fats/juices from the chicken, add the stock, reduce by half.
- Lower the heat, add the mustard and cream, bring to a light simmer.
- Add parmesan to the sauce and stir until melted in.
- Add the shredded chicken back to the sauce along with any juices, bring back to a low simmer. Add the pasta water, lemon zest and season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss the pasta through the sauce and serve with extra parmesan and parsley (if using).
