How to Make Creamy Olive Chicken Bake With Red Peppers And Mushrooms
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cook whole wheat pasta according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
- While pasta cooks, sauté 1 lb of chicken breast (cut into 1-inch cubes) in 1 tbsp olive oil until cooked through. Set aside.
- In the same pan, sauté 8 oz cremini mushrooms and 1 red bell pepper (sliced) until softened.
- Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes.
- Add cooked chicken and 1 cup Kalamata olives (or 1 1/2 cups or 1 can of green olives for a saltier flavor). Stir in cooked pasta and enough reserved pasta water to create a creamy consistency.
- Pour mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Top with remaining Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until heated through and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
