Are you craving something flavorful and satisfying for dinner tonight? Look no further than this delicious chicken and mushroom pasta recipe. This dish is easy to make and packed with rich, savory flavors that are sure to please your taste buds.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of pasta (your choice, but we recommend fettuccine or linguine)
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms
- 3 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the pasta and cook until it is al dente.
- While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 7-8 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate. Add the mushrooms and garlic to the same skillet and cook until the mushrooms are tender and the garlic is fragrant, about 5-6 minutes.
- Pour the heavy cream into the skillet with the mushrooms and garlic, and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the Parmesan cheese to the skillet and stir until it has melted into the sauce. Add salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the chicken to the skillet and stir to coat it with the sauce.
- Drain the pasta and add it to the skillet, tossing it with the sauce until it is evenly coated.
- Divide the pasta into bowls and serve hot, garnished with additional Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh herbs if desired.
