Rich and Creamy Chicken & Mushroom Pasta
Treat your taste buds to this decadent chicken and mushroom pasta that brings comfort to any table. Its creamy, delicious, and oh-so-satisfying!
Ingredients:
– 8 ounces fettuccine pasta
– 2 chicken breasts, sliced into strips
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions:
1. Begin by cooking the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions. Drain the pasta and set it aside once cooked.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken strips to the skillet, seasoning lightly with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken for about 6 to 8 minutes until they are golden brown and cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté them for approximately 3 to 4 minutes until they soften. Then, stir in the minced garlic and continue cooking for an additional minute, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
4. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine the ingredients. Bring this mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the sauce thickens to your preferred consistency.
5. Next, incorporate the grated Parmesan cheese into the sauce. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce takes on a rich, creamy texture. Taste and add more salt and pepper if desired.
6. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, followed by the fettuccine pasta. Toss everything together gently, ensuring the pasta is evenly coated in the creamy sauce.
7. For a finishing touch, garnish your dish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. This beautiful dish is best enjoyed warm, so dig in and enjoy every flavorful bite!
