Chicken Preparation

  1. 1

    Marinate the Chicken

    In a bowl, mix truffle honey, Dijon mustard, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Rub this mixture all over the half chicken and marinate for at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roast the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the marinated chicken on a baking sheet and roast for about 45-55 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Pasta Preparation

  1. 3

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the trofie pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 4

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in milk, then add the cheddar and parmesan cheese, stirring until melted and smooth. Mix in the cooked trofie pasta and salt, stirring to combine.

Vegetable Preparation

  1. 5

    Sauté the Broccolini

    In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add broccolini and sauté for 3-5 minutes until tender. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with salt before serving.
