Instructions
Creating Creamy Garlic Chicken & Mushroom Pasta is straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the diced chicken to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Mushrooms: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender and browned.
5. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
6. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine, bringing the mixture to a simmer.
7. Add Cheese and Seasoning: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Allow the sauce to thicken for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
8. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and add the drained fettuccine. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated with the creamy sauce.
9. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
10. Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
