Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pasta, Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pasta
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This creamy chicken and mushroom pasta was adapted from a dish from Cafe Delites.  We had some chicken thighs, mushrooms and leftover cream in the fridge along with some fresh pasta, so David did a quick google search to look for some inspiration and after looking at a couple of recipes we decided we could make a version of this one.

I know what you're thinking, it's got cream in it, so it's not very healthy...however, the base of the sauce is mainly stock and only a small quantity of cream.   If you use a lighter double cream like Elmlea, you'll reduce the calories even more!

Ingredients

  • 1 tsp dried basil, to season the chicken
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 250g chestnut mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 litre chicken stock

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken thighs with dried basil, salt and pepper. Heat 2 tsp of the olive oil in a griddle pan or large frying pan over a medium to high heat. Add the chicken thighs and sear on both sides until golden brown - approximately 5 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
  2. If you used a griddle pan to cook the chicken, use a large frying pan or casserole dish to continue the recipe - on a medium to high heat, add the remaining olive oil and then fry the onion and garlic until the onion becomes transparent, stirring occasionally (about 2 minutes). Pour in the white wine and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, or until beginning to reduce down.
  3. Add the mushrooms and cook for a further 3 minutes, while stirring occasionally.   Then, add the stock and cream, season with salt and pepper, and bring to a gentle simmer.   Add the pasta and simmer until the pasta is al dente, about 15 minutes (for dried pasta) and about 10 minutes (for fresh pasta), stirring occasionally.
  4. While the pasta is cooking and the chicken has cooled down, slice the chicken into strips. Add it to the pasta for the last 5 minutes of cooking, to heat it through and also to get the basil flavour through the sauce.
  5. Stir in the parmesan cheese until it melts through the sauce. Remove from the heat and allow it to sit for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken.
  6. Garnish with extra parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.

Most importantly....enjoy! We did...with some slices of garlic bread on the side.
