Instructions: Arrange chicken pieces, smooth side down, in a single layer in baking dish. Mix together the butter, mustard, lemon juice, brown sugar, and paprika in a bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. Brush the mixture over the upper surfaces of the chicken pieces and bake in a preheated oven at 400 degrees F. for 15 minutes. Remove the dish from the oven and carefully turn over the chicken pieces. Coat the upper surfaces of the chicken with the remaining mustard mixture, sprinkle the chicken pieces with poppy seeds, and return to the oven for another 15 minutes or until done. Meanwhile bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil, add olive oil, and pasta shells and cook until tender. Drain the pasta and arrange on a warm serving dish. Top with the chicken, pour the sauce on, and serve immediately.

Serves 4.
