Mustard baked chicken with pasta shells

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
32 ounces Chicken
4 tablespoons Butter; melted
4 tablespoons Mustard (mild)
2 tablespoons Lemon juice
1 tablespoon Brown sugar
1 teaspoon Paprika
3 tablespoons Poppy seeds (I used sesame seeds)
14 ounces Pasta shells
1 tablespoon Olive oil
Salt & pepper to taste

Directions

Place chicken in large ovenproof dish.

Mix together the butter, mustard, lemon juice, sugar and paprika in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush the top of the chicken with the mixture and bake for 15 minutes at 400 degrees.

(If you are using sesame seeds rather than poppy seeds, toast them in a thin layer on a tray for 10 minutes in the 400 degree oven.) Turn the chicken over and coat the remaining surfaces with the mustard mixture. Sprinkle seeds on top and cook for another 15 minutes.

While chicken is cooking, bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and olive oil. Cook until tender but still slightly firm.

Drain pasta and arrange on a warmed serving dish. Top with the chicken and pour the sauce from the pan on top of the chicken and pasta. Serve immediately.
