Ingredients
Scale
- 4 bone-in chicken thighs
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1 fennel bulb, sliced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 8 oz penne or farfalle pasta
- 2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat Your Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Use a large skillet that is safe for both stovetop and oven.
- Sear the Chicken: In the hot skillet, drizzle olive oil. Season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Sear skin-side down for about 6 minutes until golden brown. Flip to cook both sides evenly.
- Sauté Aromatics: Remove chicken from skillet. Add onions and fennel to the same pan; sauté for about 4 minutes until softened.
- Create Your Sauce: Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any flavorful bits from the bottom of the pan. Add garlic and bring to a gentle boil.
- Combine Everything: Nestle chicken thighs back into the skillet along with uncooked pasta. Stir well to combine.
- Bake It Up: Cover with foil or a lid and bake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes until chicken is cooked through and pasta is tender.
- Serve: Transfer to plates, drizzling sauce over each serving for added flavor. Enjoy!
