If you happen to hail from the Utica region of New York State, this dish need not be described. All other hungry diners: Slap on those seat belts, and get ready for a wild pasta night ride! Riggies = rigatoni (a.k.a. one of our favorite tubular pastas). We toss it in a creamy, garlicky lemon sauce studded with fresh tomato and top it with juicy sliced chicken. Though traditional chicken riggies have a touch of heat, showering this dish in red pepper flakes (or not!) is completely up to you—you’re the one driving this rig!

Instructions

Step 1
1

Adjust rack to middle position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Wash and dry produce. Dice tomato into ¼-inch pieces. Peel and finely chop garlic. Zest and quarter lemon (for 4 servings, zest one lemon and quarter both).

Step 2
2

Pat chicken dry with paper towels; season all over with Fry Seasoning, salt, and pepper. Place on a lightly oiled baking sheet (for easy cleanup, line baking sheet with aluminum foil first). Roast on middle rack until chicken is browned and cooked through, 12-15 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board. Once cool enough to handle, thinly slice crosswise.

Step 3
3

Once water is boiling, add pasta to pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until al dente, 9-11 minutes. Reserve ¼ cup pasta cooking water (½ cup for 4 servings), then drain and set pasta aside (keep empty pot handy for the next step).

Step 4
4

Heat a drizzle of oil in same pot over medium heat. Add tomato, chopped garlic, and garlic powder; cook, stirring, until fragrant and tomato is slightly softened, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cream cheese, sour cream, ¼ cup milk, ¼ tsp salt, a squeeze of lemon juice, and a pinch of lemon zest. (For 4 servings, use ½ cup milk and ½ tsp salt.)

Step 5

Add drained pasta and a splash of reserved pasta cooking water to pot with sauce; toss to coat. Taste and season with salt and pepper.

Step 6

Divide pasta between bowls and top with sliced chicken. Serve with remaining lemon wedges on the side.
