CREAMY ONE-POT PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS



Creamy One-Pot Pasta With Chicken and Mushrooms image

Cooking pasta the way you would make risotto may sound new and hip. But it's at least old enough to have been demonstrated to me in Rome in 1976, and I imagine as old as pasta itself. In this method, the liquid is minimized: there's no need for a gallon per pound of pasta. The liquid is added gradually to the pasta, which absorbs it completely and thereby retains its starch. This makes the pasta creamy and rich; it also gains the flavor of the stock. You can use pretty much any pasta shape you like, but timing will vary depending on size. This approach may seem like more work than making pasta in the ordinary way. But as the making of the "sauce" is integrated into the pasta-cooking, it really becomes a one-dish meal - as interesting as risotto, and even a bit quicker. Here is a combination of gemelli with mushrooms and chicken to get you started.

Provided by Mark Bittman

Categories     dinner, one pot, pastas, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tablespoons olive oil, more as needed
1 shallot or small onion, chopped
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 cups crimini, shiitake or button mushrooms, cleaned, trimmed and sliced
1/2 pound cut pasta like gemelli or penne, or long pasta broken into bits
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup dry white wine or water
3 to 4 cups chicken or vegetable stock
2 boneless chicken thighs, diced
Chopped fresh parsley, optional
Freshly grated Parmesan, optional

Steps:

  • Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. When hot, add shallot, garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms soften and begin to brown on edges, about 10 minutes. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is glossy and coated with oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a little salt and pepper, then wine. Stir and let liquid bubble away.
  • Ladle stock into skillet 1/2 cup or so at a time, stirring after each addition and every minute or so. When liquid is just about evaporated, add more. Mixture should be neither soupy nor dry. Keep heat at medium and stir frequently.
  • Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it; you want it to be tender but with a tiny bit of crunch. When pasta is about 3 to 4 minutes away from being done, add chicken and stir to combine. Continue to cook until chicken is done - it will be white on inside when cut - and pasta is how you like it. Taste, adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley and Parmesan if using, and serve.

Creamy Baked Chicken and Mushrooms image

This is a simple and tasty recipe for weekdays or when friends and family come over to visit. It's a creamy chicken comfort food recipe with mushrooms that I have had a lot of good comments on when I make it at home. If you have a rice cooker, cook some rice while the chicken is resting. It's a great base for the chicken and creamy sauce.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling.
  • Season Well: Don't be afraid to season your chicken generously. Salt and pepper are a good starting point, but you can also add other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Cook the Chicken Thoroughly: Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). This will help prevent foodborne illness.
  • Don't Overcook the Chicken: Overcooked chicken can be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is cooked through, then remove it from the heat to prevent overcooking.
  • Make a Roux: A roux is a mixture of flour and butter that is used to thicken sauces. For a creamy chicken sauce, make a roux by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat, then whisking in 2 tablespoons of flour. Cook the roux for 1-2 minutes, or until it is golden brown.
  • Add the Liquids Slowly: When adding the milk or cream to the roux, do it slowly and whisk constantly. This will help prevent the sauce from curdling.
  • Season the Sauce: Once the sauce has thickened, season it to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a bit of brightness.
  • Serve Immediately: Creamy chicken is best served immediately over rice, pasta, or vegetables. You can also use it as a filling for sandwiches or wraps.

Conclusion:

Creamy chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover chicken, and it can also be made with fresh chicken breasts or thighs. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a creamy chicken dish that is sure to please everyone at the table.
