    It’s a simple dish but IMHO looks really nice.

    **Ingredients**

    * 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs cut up into roughly 2″ pieces
    * A handful of fresh parsley, finely chopped
    * 1/2 to 3/4 c. EVOO
    * Crushed red pepper
    * Coarse sea salt
    * Black pepper
    * Shredded Parmesan or Romano (off the block if available) – shred about a cereal bowl worth
    * Garlic powder
    * 6 – 8 cloves of garlic, sliced
    * Dry pasta of your preference – could use whole box or less if you prefer

    **Instructions**

    * Take the cut up pieces and drizzle with EVOO and season with salt, pepper and garlic powder to your preference. Set aside to marinate for 30 min
    * Put the 1/2 c. of olive oil, crushed red pepper, sea salt, black pepper and sliced garlic in a small skillet or sauce pan. Heat up on low to soften the garlic
    * Meanwhile, get a good quality skillet and preheat on med-high heat
    * While you’re at it – make the pasta
    * Place chicken pieces in the pan and cook until thoroughly browned and cooked through and set aside if done before the pasta
    * Take about a half of a ladle of the pasta water and mix with the olive oil in the pan
    * When pasta is done, drain and return to the pot. Add the chicken pieces, about 2 ladles of your garlic and oil sauce, half of your shredded cheese and all of the parsley
    * Serve
