Ingredients

Scale
  • 400g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 300g pasta (penne or fettuccine)
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish
  • Grated Parmesan cheese for serving

Instructions

  • Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and fully cooked, about 5-6 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  • Sauté the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the chopped onions until translucent. Add the mushrooms and cook until softened. Stir in minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
  • Make the Sauce: Sprinkle flour over the vegetables, stirring continuously to remove any lumps. Gradually pour in the chicken broth, stirring until the sauce thickens. Add heavy cream and dried thyme, stirring until smooth. Let the sauce simmer for 5-6 minutes.
  • Combine and Serve: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Add the drained pasta, mixing until everything is well combined. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley and grated Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • You can adjust the thickness of the sauce by adding more chicken broth or cream as needed.
  • Use any type of pasta you prefer, though penne or fettuccine works best to hold the sauce.
  • For added flavor, consider sprinkling red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.
