Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 2

Ingredients

Olive oil spray
1/4 medium onion, thinly sliced
1 cup bow tie pasta (farfalle)
1/2 to 3/4 pound chicken breasts or thighs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 large portobello mushroom, halved and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons ruby port
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
1 teapoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 carrots, sliced into coins
One 3-inch fresh rosemary sprig, or 1 teaspoon dried
2 cups cut green beans or snow pea pods

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 450°F.

    Step 2

    Spray the inside and lid of a cast-iron Dutch oven with olive oil.

    Step 3

    Scatter the onion in the pot. Add the pasta and 1/3 cup of water. Stir to coat the noodles and distribute them in an even layer.

    Step 4

    Add the chicken to the pot and lightly season with salt and pepper. Arrange the mushrooms in a layer on top of the chicken.

    Step 5

    In a measuring cup, mix the port, vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of water. Stir with a whisk or fork to emulsify the mustard, then drizzle into the pot.

    Step 6

    Add the carrots and tuck the rosemary sprig into a crevice. Top with a layer of green beans.

    Step 7

    Cover and bake for 45 minutes, or until 3 minutes after the aroma of a fully cooked meal escapes the oven. Serve immediately.
