Method

1

Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente; drain and set aside.

2

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and cooked through, about 8–10 minutes; transfer to a plate.

3

In the same skillet, sauté onion and bell pepper until softened, about 4 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

4

Stir in paprika, cayenne, oregano, and thyme; cook for 30 seconds to bloom the spices.

5

Pour in broth and cream, stirring to combine. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.

6

Add cooked pasta to the sauce and toss until evenly coated. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.

7

Divide among serving bowls. Top with grated Parmesan and sliced green onion. Serve hot.
