1 medium onion, minced

Creamy Baked Chicken and Mushrooms image

This is a simple and tasty recipe for weekdays or when friends and family come over to visit. It's a creamy chicken comfort food recipe with mushrooms that I have had a lot of good comments on when I make it at home. If you have a rice cooker, cook some rice while the chicken is resting. It's a great base for the chicken and creamy sauce.

Easy, tasty, creamy dish which can ready with very little time. Also makes a great lunch cold the next day.

Provided by scottwestron

Time 45m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 mini-chicken breasts
150ml single cream
8 closed cup white mushrooms, quartered
1 shallot
3 cloves of garlic
30g salted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
100g parmesan cheese
Extra virgin olive oil
300g dried penne pasta

Steps:

  • Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add a little splash of olive oil and the pasta. Cook for 4 minutes or until al dente. Drain and return to the pan. Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
  • Season the whole chicken fillets with salt and pepper and then lightly shallow fry them in a little olive oil on a medium heat. Turn them regularly until they're just starting to colour, about 7 minutes. They should be white and still juicy throughout when you take them off the heat and slice them diagonally into thin strips.
  • For the sauce, add the butter to the pan along with the finely diced shallot. Add in the mushrooms. Fry for a few minutes until the onions are translucent but not browning. Add the garlic, crushed. Stir for a further minute or so until you can smell the garlic. Reduce the heat and pour in the cream. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper and allow to reduce very slightly so that the cream thickens a bit and is slightly sticking to the spoon.
  • Stir in the the chicken and pasta. When mixed add about a quarter of the parmesan cheese by grating this in directly. Cook for another minute or two. The texture should be sticky and the chicken and pasta should both be starting be covered in the sauce.
  • Dish into oven-proof dish(es) and cover with foil. Pop into the oven and leave for 15 minutes. Take out of the oven and carefully remove the foil. Grate over about half of the remaining parmesan liberally and return to the oven for a another 10 minutes before removing and serving with a final further helping of parmesan on the top and pepper to taste.

¼ cup cream cheese, softened

Tips for Cooking Creamy Baked Penne and Chicken with Mushrooms:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Opt for fresh, organic vegetables, high-quality chicken, and flavorful mushrooms.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and mushrooms, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will result in a soggy dish.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold its shape better in the dish.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is a key ingredient in this dish, so make sure to use a high-quality cheese that melts well. Some good options include Parmesan, mozzarella, or a blend of the two.
  • Bake the dish until bubbly and golden brown: This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and gooey.
