  • Author: Mary

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into strips

  • Salt and black pepper, to taste

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter

  • 1 onion, finely chopped

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 8 ounces cremini or button mushrooms, sliced

  • ½ cup chicken broth

  • 1 cup evaporated milk

  • 8 ounces penne or fettuccine pasta

  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

 

  1. Sear the Chicken:

    • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

    • Season the chicken strips with salt and black pepper.

    • Add the chicken to the pot and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes.

    • Remove the chicken from the pot and set aside.

  2. Sauté the Aromatics and Mushrooms:

    • In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat.

    • Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 3 minutes.

    • Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.

    • Add the sliced mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and become tender, about 5 minutes.

  3. Prepare the Sauce and Cook the Pasta:

    • Pour in the chicken broth and evaporated milk, stirring to combine.

    • Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

    • Add the pasta to the pot, ensuring it’s submerged in the liquid.

    • Cook the pasta in the sauce, stirring occasionally, until al dente and the sauce has thickened, about 10-12 minutes.

  4. Combine and Serve:

    • Return the cooked chicken to the pot, stirring to combine and heat through.

    • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy.

    • Adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

    • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
