How to Make Creamy Chicken Mushroom Pasta

  1. Cook 250g pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving about 1/2 cup of pasta water, and return pasta to the pot.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes.
  3. Add 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch cubes; 1-2 fresh chillies, finely chopped (adjust to taste); 1 tbsp dried basil; and 1 tbsp dried oregano. Cook until chicken is browned and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
  4. Remove chicken mixture from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add 8 oz cremini mushrooms, sliced, to the skillet and cook until tender, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Stir in 1 cup chicken stock, 1/2 cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and return the chicken mixture to the skillet.
  7. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook until the sauce has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add a little of the reserved pasta water.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat.
  9. Serve immediately, topped with freshly shaved Parmesan cheese to taste.
