CACIO E PEPE CHICKEN THIGHS

 

Cacio e Pepe is absolutely my Favorite pasta dish EVER!

Cacio e Pepe is one of Rome's four legendary pasta 

dishes and also one of oldest recipes in Roman Cuisine too.

So I thought why not take the same ingredients and make

Cacio e Pepe Chicken Thighs! 

Brilliant!

Delicious Magic Happened In My Kitchen!

The combination of sharp, salty Pecorino and the aromatic Peppercorns and Cream

that the Chicken cooks in creates layers of flavor that makes this

recipe so deeply Satisfying and Delicious!

Get your Italian music on because we are off to Rome.

Grab some Shallots & Garlic.

Thinly slice up the Shallots.

Grab the Garlic.

Mince the Garlic into the Shallots.

Set this bowl of yum aside for now.

Pat 7 bone-in skin on Chicken Thighs dry with a paper towel

and then season the Chicken all over with Kosher Salt.

Heat up some Olive Oil in a large 12-in skillet 

over medium heat.

Grab those Chicken Thighs.

Sear the Chicken skin side down first until golden, About 15 minutes per side.

Put your tongs down because it's not time to flip yet!

Awesome juice right here.

Flip and cook the other side till done.

Transfer the Chicken to a large plate skin side up.

Remove all but 1 tbsp of fat from the skillet.

Time to put the Shallots, Garlic and Sage to work.

Add the Garlic and Shallots to the skillet. Cook over

medium heat until translucent, Only takes about a minute.

Pour in 1/4 cup of dry White Wine and simmer.

Get your cute spatula to scrape up any brown 

bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Grab 3/4 cup of Heavy Cream, 1/2 cup of Chicken Broth and Sage.

Pour the Cream and Chicken Broth into the 

skillet and toss in some Sage.

Toss into the skillet 1 tbsp of whole black Peppercorns

coarsely crushed for that Flavor Bomb that is always found in

Cacio e Pepe!

Nestle the Chicken Thighs skin side up right into the Amazing sauce.

and reduce the heat to medium low. Simmer until the sauce

 coats the back of a wooden spoon about 12 minutes.

Add a bit of Lemon zest.

Finely grate up 3 tbsp. of Pecorino Romano Cheese.

Toss in the cheese for more Flavor Bomb!

Wowza, this just smells Fabulous.

Garnish with some fresh Parsley and more Cheese.

What do I serve Cacio de Pepe Chicken Thighs With?

Well Let Me Show You...

I plate the dish with some Bucatini Pasta and pour some

of the Chicken Sauce over the top along with some 

 sauteed Summer Zucchini on the side.

Top the pasta with the star of the show...

Cacio de Pepe Chicken Thighs!

Have a bite and tell me if you are also in Love with

Cacio e Pepe Chicken Thighs like Me.
