Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 ½ lb chicken breast, cubed
½ yellow onion, diced
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
2 cups cremini mushroom
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 teaspoons paprika
4 cups chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 lb farfalle pasta
5 oz spinach
1 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large pot on medium heat. Add chicken, salt and pepper, and brown - make sure to cook through. Set chicken aside.
  • Add 1 tablespoon olive oil and the onion into the pot and stir. Cook down for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and garlic, and stir to incorporate with the onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste as well as thyme and paprika. Stir to evenly season.
  • Add chicken broth and heavy cream to the pot and stir. Bring to a boil, then add the farfalle pasta.

20-Minute Skillet Mushroom Chicken image

Easy one-pan chicken dinner ready in 20 minutes! No dry or boring chicken breasts here -- with some seasonings and a light, silky dairy-free mushroom sauce, you'll have succulent chicken every time! For even cooking, slice boneless skinless chicken breasts into cutlets, and use a meat thermometer so you don't overcook them. Because this recipe has no heavy cream, you can freeze leftovers for later! This makes mushroom chicken great for meal-prep.

Categories     Entree

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 lb (700g) boneless skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and black pepper
1 teaspoon oregano
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon coriander
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon ghee or unsalted butter
12 ounce fresh large mushrooms, (sliced)
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 green onions, (chopped)
2 garlic cloves, (minced)
kosher salt and black pepper
Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 200 degrees F. You will use it to keep the chicken warm.
  • Cut chicken breasts in halves the horizontal way to make thinner chicken cutlets. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper. Combine oregano, paprika, and coriander in a small bowl. Season the chicken with the spice mixture on both sides.
  • In a large skillet heat 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil until shimmering but not smoking. Add the chicken cutlets and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on one side, then turn over and cook for another 3 minutes or so. To check for doneness, cut into a piece with a thin-bladed knife and take a peek. Transfer the chicken to an ovenproof platter and put it in the oven.
  • In the same skillet, now add a tiny bit more extra virgin olive oil. Add ghee and melt. Sautee the mushrooms for 5 minutes. Add broth, green onions, garlic, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil.
  • Add the chicken back to the pan, spoon some of the sauce on top. Serve immediately.

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.

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.

PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS



Pasta with Chicken and Mushrooms image

Because bowtie pasta (farfalle) holds the creamy sauce well, they are ideal for this hearty dish.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Chicken     Chicken Breast Recipes

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 8

Coarse salt and ground pepper
3/4 pound bowtie pasta
1 pound chicken tenders, white tendons removed, halved lengthwise and again crosswise
2 tablespoons butter
1 pound small white button mushrooms, stems trimmed, halved
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta until al dente, according to package instructions. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water; drain pasta, and return to pot.
  • Meanwhile, season chicken generously with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add chicken; cook, turning once, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add mushrooms to pan; season with salt and pepper. Cover; cook over medium heat until mushrooms release their liquid, about 5 minutes. Uncover; cook, stirring, until liquid has evaporated, 3 to 5 minutes more. Add wine; cook, stirring, until evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low. Add cream and chicken; stir to coat. Transfer to pot with pasta; add parsley and pasta water (if desired). Toss to combine. Season again with salt and pepper; serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling to find things while you're cooking.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your pasta dish the best flavor. If you can, try to use organic ingredients whenever possible.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Use a good quality olive oil: Olive oil is an essential ingredient in Italian cooking. Make sure you use a good quality extra virgin olive oil for the best flavor.
  • Season the pasta water: Salting the pasta water helps to flavor the pasta as it cooks. Add about 1 tablespoon of salt to every gallon of water.
  • Don't rinse the pasta: Rinsing the pasta after cooking will remove the starch, which helps the sauce to stick to the pasta. Simply drain the pasta and add it directly to the sauce.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what really makes a pasta dish special. Make sure you use a sauce that is flavorful and well-seasoned.
  • Garnish the pasta: Before serving, garnish the pasta with fresh herbs, grated cheese, or a drizzle of olive oil. This will add a pop of color and flavor to the dish.

Pasta is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. With so many different recipes to choose from, there's sure to be a pasta dish that everyone will love.
