Mix Mushroom Chicken Pasta is a delicious Italian pasta dish that combines tender chicken with various mushrooms and a rich sauce, offering a flavorful and memorable taste.

👉🏻✨DIRECTIONS:

  1. Season the chicken with paprika, salt, and black pepper, ensuring all parts are well-coated.

  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. The chicken will not be fully cooked; remove it from the skillet.

  3. If there is no oil left in the pan, add a bit more oil, then add the chopped onion and 30ml of chicken stock, stirring constantly to scrape off any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.

  4. Once the onion softens, add the mushrooms and stir until they release their juices and become tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds.

  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, then pour in the remaining chicken stock and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 7-10 minutes, or until slightly thickened.

  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, gently tossing to ensure all the pasta is coated in the mushroom sauce. Cook over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, or until heated through.

  7. Stir in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and chopped parsley. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve the pasta in bowls, topped with grated Parmesan cheese and additional parsley.
