Easy creamy chicken and mushroom pasta

[Kab30]

Hi anyone got an easy recipe for chicken mushroom pasta please xx

This pasta bake www.dontgobaconmyheart.co.uk/chicken-and-mushroom-pasta/

Possibly controversial opinion but why chicken? There is a reason why Italians don't have pasta with chicken, it's just not good!

Not controversial I just like it x....couldn't click on anything x

If I wanted to do chicken and mushrooms with pasta I think I'd probably include onion too. Saute onions until soft, then up heat and cook chicken strips until browned. Remove to another plate. Then I'd add some butter to the hot pan, some whole peeled garlic cloves and chopped mushrooms and cook mushrooms. Add herbs of choice - I'd probably add some fennel seeds (although possibly with the chicken) but thyme would give a more subtle flavour. Return chicken to the pan, add zest of a lemon, add some white wine and bubble away then add double cream/creme fraiche/cream cheese to create creamy sauce. Season generously with salt and pepper and serve with pasta topped with parmesan. You could up the nutritional content by adding some spinach or peas at the bubbling phase.

Thank you x

Olive oil in the pan, heat it up.
Add crushed garlic and fry off a little.
Fry off the chicken and cook through thoroughly.
Add the cream, double is better, but you can use single. (This is when it is best to start the pasta cooking).
Leave it to bubble.
Then add the mushrooms.
I tend to find mushrooms shrink when cooking, some add these last.
Mix it all up and pop a lid on stirring intermittently.

To add more calories (!) crumble some ready salted crisps mixed with grated cheese over the top.

Fry some chicken and mushrooms with some olive oil, till they are browned. Add some chicken stock. And let simmer till chicken cooked and reduce the stick by half. (Cook pasta at the same time)
Then add some cream to the chicken and mushroom mix. I like to then either add some Stilton or Philadelphia cheese, and stir in the pasta.
