Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pasta

White or Brown Beech/Shimeji Mushrooms
Serves 4
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 10 oz Guan’s White or Brown Beech Mushrooms, separated by stem
  • 8 oz uncooked pasta
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, chopped into bite-sized pieces
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 teaspoon canola or peanut oil, divided in half
  • 1 shallot, minced
  • 2-3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup double cream
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes, optional

Instructions

  • Start by bringing a pot of water to a boil and cook the pasta al-dente according to the package directions. Then, drain and set aside.
  • In the meantime, season the chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add in 1 teaspoon of oil. Add in the chicken and cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally, for about 5-6 minutes. Stir in the shallots, garlic and mushrooms. Sauté until softened, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Pour in the white wine, and stir with a spatula to remove any brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes, until the wine has been mostly reduced. Now, add chicken brother and double cream, and continue to simmer until the sauce is slightly reduced, about 4-5 minutes.
  • While the pan is still on the heat, return the pasta, tossing it with tongs to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Continue to cook for a couple of minutes until heated through. Serve in bowls and sprinkle with parsley, chili flakes, and parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
