Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a small baking dish or sheet pan.

    Bake for 20-25 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through, slightly caramelized, and the pasta is tender and lightly browned at the edges.

    Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Remove from the oven.

  7. 7

    Serve hot, directly from the baking dish, dividing evenly for two satisfying portions.
