Creamy Garlic Chicken & Mushroom Spaghetti | Weeknight Favor

• कुल समय: 25 minutes

सामग्री

300g spaghetti

2 skinless chicken breasts, sliced into strips

200g button mushrooms, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

2 tbsp unsalted butter

1 tbsp olive oil

Salt & freshly ground black pepper

1 tsp Italian herb mix (dried)

200ml heavy cream

50g Parmesan cheese, shredded

1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (optional, to thicken sauce)

निर्देश

Cook the spaghetti in a pot of salted boiling water for 8–10 minutes. Drain and set aside.

Sear the chicken: Heat oil and 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips, season, and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.

Sauté mushrooms & garlic: Melt remaining butter in the same pan. Add garlic and mushrooms; cook for 4–5 minutes until soft and fragrant.

Simmer the sauce: Return chicken to the pan. Pour in cream, add Italian herbs and Parmesan. Let it simmer for 5–7 minutes until creamy. Stir in the cornstarch slurry if you want a thicker consistency.

Serve it up: Adjust salt and pepper. Place spaghetti on plates, spoon the creamy chicken mushroom mixture on top, and serve hot.

Optional Add-ins & Swaps:

Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes or spinach for more color and nutrients.

Use rotisserie chicken to speed things up.
