Ingredient Highlights

The star of this recipe is undoubtedly the combination of chicken and mushrooms. Chicken breasts are lean and tender, providing a satisfying bite without excessive fat. Meanwhile, mushrooms add an earthy flavor that elevates the dish, making it feel gourmet. Opt for a variety of mushrooms, such as cremini or shiitake, to add depth and complexity to the flavor profile.

The creamy sauce, enriched with heavy cream and a hint of Dijon mustard, creates a luscious coating that clings perfectly to the pasta. Olive oil not only helps in sautéing but also adds a touch of healthy fats. Together, these ingredients create a harmony of flavors that dance on your palate, making each bite a delightful experience.

Serving Suggestions

To elevate your Creamy Mushroom Chicken Stroganoff Pasta, consider adding a side of garlic bread or a fresh garden salad. The crunch of a salad or the warmth of garlic bread complements the creamy pasta beautifully, rounding out your meal. A light vinaigrette can add a refreshing contrast to the richness of the stroganoff.

For an added touch, serve the dish garnished with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. This not only enhances the visual appeal but also infuses the dish with fresh flavors that brighten the palate. Pair it with a glass of white wine, such as Chardonnay, to fully enjoy this comforting meal.

Ingredients

For the Stroganoff

2 chicken breasts, sliced
8 oz mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
12 oz pasta of your choice

For Garnish

Fresh parsley, chopped
Grated Parmesan cheese

Feel free to customize the recipe by adding vegetables like spinach or peas.

Instructions

Cook the Pasta

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Sauté the Chicken

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Cook the Vegetables

In the same skillet, add the onions and garlic. Sauté until the onions are translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender.

Make the Sauce

Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper. Let it simmer for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.

Combine with Pasta

Add the cooked pasta to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.

Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan cheese.

Storing Leftovers

If you have any leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This dish can be kept for up to three days, making it a fantastic option for meal prep. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to restore its creamy consistency.

Avoid reheating in the microwave if possible, as it can overcook the pasta and chicken, leading to a less desirable texture. By reheating it gently on the stove, you can ensure that every bite remains as delicious as the first.

Customization Options

Feel free to customize this recipe to suit your taste preferences. Add vegetables like spinach or peas for an extra burst of color and nutrition. You can also swap out the chicken for turkey or even a plant-based protein for a vegetarian option—mushroom or tempeh can work wonderfully in this creamy sauce.

For those who enjoy a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the sauce for a little kick. This flexibility makes the recipe not only easy to prepare but also adaptable to various dietary needs and personal tastes.
