Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 8 ounces Pappardelle pasta
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pappardelle pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken slices and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and garlic, and sauté until the mushrooms are golden brown and tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for 2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
  5. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and toss to coat it with the sauce. Cook for an additional minute to heat the chicken through.
  7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Serve the chicken and mushroom mixture over the cooked Pappardelle pasta. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Notes

Feel free to use a mix of different mushrooms like cremini, shiitake, or oyster mushrooms to enhance the earthy flavors in the dish. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute half-and-half or milk for the heavy cream, although the sauce may be slightly less creamy. Serve the dish with a crusty bread or a side salad for a well-rounded meal and enjoy!
