• 3/4 lb (375 g) penne
• 1 lb (454 g) skinless and boneless chicken thighs, finely chopped
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
• 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) flour
• 2 cups (500 ml) milk

• 1 cup (250 ml) grated Gruyère cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) ground nutmeg
• 3 tablespoons (45 ml) chopped fresh chives
• Salt and pepper
1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until al dente.
2. Brown the chicken and onion in the butter and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Sprinkle with the flour and stir to combine. Add the milk and peas. Bring to boil, stirring with a whisk and simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add the drained pasta, cheese, and nutmeg. Heat until the cheese has melted. Add the chives.
Ps.....I always forget to take a picture until it's too late. That's what was left after three servings, so lots of leftovers.
