INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Thigh (skin-on)
1/2 cup dry Elbow Macaroni
1/2 cup cooked & pureed Butternut Squash
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 tbsp Fresh Rosemary (chopped)
1 tbsp Fresh Thyme (chopped)
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 425°F.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, mix the chopped rosemary, thyme, salt, and pepper.
Lightly brush the chicken thighs with olive oil and rub evenly with the herb mixture.
Place the chicken thighs on a baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until the skin is crispy and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Meanwhile, cook the elbow macaroni in a pot of salted boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a separate small saucepan, gently heat the pureed butternut squash with a pinch of salt and pepper until warm, stirring occasionally.
Combine the warm puree with the drained macaroni, stirring to evenly coat the pasta.
Plate a portion of the creamy butternut squash mac and top with a crispy herb-crusted chicken thigh. Serve immediately.
