Creamy Chicken Breast Pasta
Mushrooms

A comforting creamy chicken pasta featuring tender chicken breast slices, earthy mushrooms, and a rich white cream sauce finished with crunchy roasted almonds.

Ingredients

• 200 g pasta
• 200 g chicken breast
• 100 g white mushrooms
• 1/2 onion
• 150 ml heavy cream
• 50 ml water
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 20 g almonds
• to taste salt
• to taste black pepper

Instructions

1. 1Boil the pasta

   

   Bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil and cook the pasta until al dente.

   Tip: Make sure the water is at a rolling boil and well-salted before adding the pasta.
2. 2Pan-fry the chicken breast

   

   Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breast slices, season with black pepper, and pan-fry until golden and completely cooked through.

   Tip: Ensure the pan is adequately heated before adding the chicken to achieve a good sear.
3. 3Sauté mushrooms and onions

   

   Add sliced mushrooms and diced onions to the pan, then season with a little salt and sauté until tender.

   Tip: Sautéing over medium heat helps release the natural moisture from the mushrooms.
4. 4Return chicken to the pan

   

   Add the previously cooked chicken breast slices back into the pan containing the sautéed mushrooms and onions.

   Tip: Toss the ingredients together briefly to blend the flavors before adding liquids.
5. 5Create the cream sauce

   

   Pour water and heavy cream into the pan, stirring continuously over medium-low heat to create a rich, smooth sauce.

   Tip: Stir continuously as you pour the cream to prevent separation and ensure a uniform texture.
6. 6Mix in the pasta

   

   Add the cooked pasta to the simmering cream sauce and toss everything together until well coated, then transfer to a serving bowl and top with chopped almonds.

   Tip: Mix gently to ensure every strand of pasta absorbs the rich cream sauce.
