Ingredients

  • 1 lb /500g pasta noodles

Chicken and Mushroom Sauce

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 onion diced
  • 1 lb /500g mushrooms sliced
  • 2 lbs /1kg chicken breast
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup chicken stock
  • 1 cup whipping cream

Sauce Thickener

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • ½ cup water
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

Seasoning and Garnish

  • salt and pepper to taste
  • garnish with freshly chopped parsley

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in salted water according to instructions. Drain and set aside.

Chicken and Mushroom Sauce

  • In a skillet or pan, add 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon of oil, and fry the diced onion until it becomes translucent. Add the mushrooms and sauté until it's all caramelized. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter and oil and fry the chicken. Add the garlic to the chicken after about 5 minutes of frying the chicken. Fry the chicken until cooked.
  • Return the caramelized onions and mushrooms to the skillet. Add milk, chicken stock and whipping cream. Heat to a simmer.

Sauce Thickener

  • In a small glass, make a slurry with ½ cup water and the flour, mixing so there are no lumps. Add this flour slurry to the chicken and mushroom pasta sauce, allowing to simmer on low until it thickens (about 5 minutes). Optional (add ½ cup grated parmesan to the sauce)

Seasoning and Garnish

  • Once pasta is ready, mix it into the skillet and toss to combine. Finish by adding salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and more parmesan.
