Preparation Steps
- In a small bowl, combine dry mustard, dried thyme, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Pat the chicken pieces dry with paper towels, then coat them evenly with the seasoning mix.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken pieces and sear for about 6-8 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook for 8-10 minutes until al dente, then drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.
- In the same skillet, melt butter, then whisk in all-purpose flour to form a roux. Gradually add white wine, followed by minced garlic and diced onions, and cook until onions soften.
- Slowly whisk in milk, cooking until it bubbles and thickens. Reduce heat and stir in cheddar cheese until melted.
- Chop the cooked chicken and add it to the skillet. Fold in the drained pasta and mix until coated in sauce, cooking together for 2-3 minutes.
- Plate the Cheesy Chicken Pasta, garnish with dried thyme or red pepper flakes, and serve warm.
