Fontina Alfredo with Herb Chicken Over Penne Pasta

So this is an original recipe I just made up today and it turned out DELICIOUS. I am going to give the rendered duck fat credit for this (I had previously used it in my duck confit recipe).

Sorry there are no step-by-step instructions on this, since I was just winging it. But next time I make it, I'll be sure to include step-by-steps for this one!

Fontina Alfredo Penne Pasta with Herbed Chicken Thighs

·         Ingredients
a.       Protein
                                                               i.      6 bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs
b.      Veggies
                                                               i.      4 cloves garlic
                                                             ii.      2 tablespoon shallots
c.       Spices
                                                               i.      1 teaspoon paprika
                                                             ii.      1 teaspoon dried thyme
                                                            iii.      1 teaspoon dried sage
                                                           iv.      1 teaspoon dried rosemary
                                                             v.      Salt to taste
                                                           vi.      Pepper to taste
d.      Oils and Others
                                                               i.      2 tablespoon of rendered duck fat (okay to substitute with olive oil—healthier)

Directions
1.       Preheat oven to 400°F
2.       Heat olive oil (or fat) in a large pan
3.       Rub salt and pepper on the chicken thighs
4.       Add chicken skin up on the pan, sprinkle all the spices on top
5.       Cook for about 5 minutes
6.       Flip the chicken thighs and cook for five more minutes. The skin should be brown and crunchy.
7.       Oven should have been preheated by now. Take the chicken out of the pan and put it in an oven pan. Put the thighs in the oven and set timer for 15 minutes.
8.       While the oven is going on, the remainder liquid should have been in the sauté pan. Sauté shallots and garlic on there until they are slightly brown.
9.       Add milk and cream and bring to slight boil
10.   Lower heat and simmer for about 5 minutes
11.   Remove the pan from the stove, and put the contents in a large bowl. Whisk the bowl until the fat emulsifies

12.   Take chicken out, serve with pasta of choice with sauce over it
