Ingredients
  

Pasta and Chicken
  • 12 oz pasta (any kind you enjoy)
  • 1 lb chicken breast, sliced
Creamy Sauce
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
Seasoning and Garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and sliced mushrooms. Continue cooking until the mushrooms are tender and have released their moisture.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and then add the Parmesan cheese. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Add the drained pasta to the sauce and toss everything together until the pasta is nicely coated.
  6. Serve hot, garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
