Equipment

  • Large, deep skillet or a pot
  • Wooden spoon
  • Cutting board and knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite size pieces
  • 8 oz sliced mushrooms about 2 cups
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 8 oz penne or any pasta of your choice
  • 3 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Sauté Chicken and Onions:
    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil and melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onions and cook until they become translucent, about 2-3 minutes. Add the chicken pieces and cook until they're no longer pink on the outside, around 5 minutes.
  • Add Mushrooms and Garlic:
    Stir in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms become tender and release their juices.
  • Add Pasta and Broth:
    Add the pasta and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well, ensuring the pasta is submerged in the liquid. Bring it to a boil.
  • Simmer and Stir:
    Reduce the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Cook for about 12-15 minutes, or until the pasta is tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  • Add Cream and Cheese:
    Pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the pasta. Stir until the sauce thickens and coats the pasta, which should take 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Garnish and Serve:
    If desired, garnish with fresh parsley. Serve immediately, and enjoy your delicious one-pot creamy chicken and mushroom pasta!
