Rich and Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta
Ingredients:
- 2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Directions:
Start by cooking the fettuccine pasta following the instructions on the package. Once done, drain the excess water and set the pasta aside.
In a large skillet, warm up the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips and let them cook until they are nicely browned, which should take about 6 to 8 minutes. Once they are done, remove them from the pan and put them to the side.
Now, using the same skillet, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Cook them for 3 to 4 minutes until they become soft, then add the minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring everything together. Allow the mixture to come to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese along with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, then add the fettuccine pasta. Toss everything well to make sure the pasta is evenly coated with the sauce.
Finish by garnishing with fresh parsley. Serve it warm and enjoy your deliciously rich and creamy pasta dish.
