SEARED HERB-MARINATED CHICKEN
Pungent from the fish sauce and garlic, sweet and sour from the honey and lime, and spicy from the jalapeño, the Houston chef Chris Shepherd likes to serve these golden-skinned chicken thighs with a green papaya salad. But anything crunchy and coleslaw-like will fare just as well. The longer you marinate the thighs, the more complex they become; four hours is a bare minimum. If you'd like to use white meat, choose bone-in, skin-on breasts for the juiciest result.

Steps:
- Place scallions, cilantro, garlic, jalapeño, fish sauce, honey, lime juice and 2 tablespoons oil in a blender. Purée until smooth.
- Scrape marinade into a large bowl or resealable plastic bag. Add chicken, tossing to coat, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Use tongs to remove chicken from marinade, letting any excess drip away. Do not pat dry.
- Place chicken in skillet skin-side down and sear until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes (2 to 3 minutes if using skinless chicken), being careful not to let it burn as the sugars from the honey will start to caramelize.
- Flip chicken, transfer to oven, and continue to cook until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a cutting board and let it rest for 3 to 4 minutes. Serve with more cilantro, limes wedges and green papaya salad if you like.

- Return chicken to the skillet. Sprinkle with extra herbs if desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh herbs will give your chicken and pasta the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- Marinate the chicken for as long as possible. The longer you marinate the chicken, the more flavorful it will be. If you're short on time, you can marinate the chicken for as little as 30 minutes, but for the best results, marinate it for at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat. Cooking the chicken over medium heat will help to prevent it from drying out. Be sure to cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked.
- Use a good quality pasta. A good quality pasta will hold its shape and texture better than a cheaper pasta. Look for a pasta that is made with durum wheat.
- Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Be sure to cook the pasta al dente, which means that it should be cooked through but still slightly firm to the bite.
- Add the chicken and sauce to the pasta. Once the pasta is cooked, add the chicken and sauce to the pot. Stir to combine and heat through.
- Serve immediately. Herb marinated chicken with pasta is best served immediately, while it is still hot and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Herb marinated chicken with pasta is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is also a great meal to make ahead of time for a party or potluck. The chicken is flavorful and juicy, and the pasta is cooked to perfection. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
