How to cook pasta with chicken and mushrooms in creamy sauce

Let's start by making a creamy sauce with chicken and mushrooms. In heated butter or vegetable oil (refined sunflower oil is ideal, as it has slightly fewer calories than butter), fry the mushrooms cut into small pieces.

As soon as the mushrooms have evaporated the moisture and browned, add finely chopped onions to them.

When the onion becomes soft and begins to become translucent, add chicken fillet, cut into small cubes, into the pan. It is better to take fresh, chilled chicken fillet, not defrosted, so the meat will retain more juice and the chicken in the sauce will not be dry. Fry the ingredients together for about 8 minutes until the chicken is cooked through, stirring occasionally with a wooden spatula.

It's time to boil the spaghetti. Add water to the pan in the amount indicated in the instructions on the package. Usually it is 1 liter. for 80 g dry pasta and 1 tbsp. salt. It is recommended to add 2 tbsp to boiling water. olive or sunflower oil to prevent the spaghetti from sticking together.

Cook the spaghetti until al dente - slightly undercooked. This is not only more tasty, but also healthier, and the hot sauce will bring them to readiness already in the plate.

Meanwhile, add cream to the pan. An hour before cooking, remove the cream from the refrigerator so that it reaches room temperature and does not curdle in the pan. Bring to a boil and cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes.

As soon as the sauce is ready, add finely chopped hard cheese to it and mix it thoroughly.

Remove the finished spaghetti from the heat and drain the water.

At this time, the sauce was finally cooked and became more viscous in consistency, as the cheese was completely melted in the hot cream.

Start serving the Creamy Chicken and Mushroom Pasta by placing a portion of spaghetti on a warm plate, making a small well in the center.

Fill this cavity with a few spoons of cream sauce.

Sprinkle the dish with grated cheese and finely chopped fresh herbs.

Cooking tips:

  • This dish must be served immediately after cooking, as the pasta may cool and even stick together while the sauce is being prepared. Therefore, it is better to put all the ingredients on the table in advance so as not to waste time searching for the right product in the refrigerator.
  • It is best to cook pasta in a creamy sauce with mushrooms and chicken using oyster mushrooms. But you can replace them with champignons, the cooking process will be the same. If you decide to use wild mushrooms, you must first boil them.
  • Ready-made spaghetti can be added directly to the pan with the sauce, stirred and placed on plates in this form. This way the pasta will be juicier, but the presentation of the dish will be more homely.

Preparation:

Cut the onion into small cubes.

Cut the chicken fillet into small pieces. You can use chicken breast, but I cooked thigh fillet.

Now let’s clean and cut the mushrooms for the creamy sauce; for me these are champignons. In general, you can use any mushrooms - fresh or dried. With wild mushrooms, of course, the sauce will be much more aromatic, but with champignons it will be extremely tasty.

Boil the pasta in plenty of salted water, cooking time indicated on the package. When the pasta is ready, drain the water, add a little butter to the pan and stir.

While the pasta is cooking, prepare the creamy sauce with chicken and mushrooms. Lightly fry the chicken pieces in heated olive or sunflower oil.

Add onion, mix.

Fry the chicken and onions, stirring, for 3-4 minutes, until the onions become transparent and begin to brown slightly.

Add the mushrooms, salt the contents of the pan, pepper to taste and add a pinch of nutmeg. Mix.

The mushrooms will definitely release juice. Fry, stirring, until the liquid evaporates.

Pour in half a glass of cream or milk.

Continue cooking over low heat for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens a little. Then add 2 tbsp. l. cream cheese (about 100 g).

Stir until the cheese is completely dissolved; it melts almost instantly. Turn off the frying pan. Creamy sauce with chicken and mushrooms is ready.

It’s so good that it’s the 21st century, and the dense myths about nutrition that our mothers were deceived with have long been refuted! Take pasta, for example. You can still hear about their “harm”, but this information is hopelessly outdated.
What do modern nutritionists say about pasta? Let's figure it out, and at the same time prepare delicious pasta with chicken and mushrooms in a creamy sauce.

It is generally accepted that pasta contains a lot of simple carbohydrates, which satisfy hunger worse than their complex “colleagues” and contribute to weight gain. This is true, but only half: firstly, people get fat not from pasta, but from abusing it, and secondly, simple carbohydrates are not dangerous for everyone.

If you have everything in order with insulin, the “level of complexity” of carbohydrate foods does not matter to you in terms of your figure. But in terms of saturation - it does, and how! You'll eat less of a filling meal, and you'll last longer without snacking afterwards - a real benefit!

Nutritionists advise choosing pasta made from durum wheat. Such products contain less starch and more gluten (gluten). In other words, they generally have less “charcoal” and more protein – that’s already good. Such pasta retains its shape better when cooked because gluten helps starch maintain its crystalline structure. As a result, the pasta does not stick together, looks presentable and is pleasantly chewed, unlike cheap varieties.

Instead of fatty sauce and sausages, it is better to cook pasta with lean meat or mushrooms. It will turn out more dietary and healthier, and pasta with chicken and mushrooms in cream sauce is a great example of this.

Let's start with fresh chicken fillet without skin, wash it thoroughly, dip it in paper kitchen towels, place it on a cutting board and, using a sharp kitchen knife, remove the film, excess fat, and cartilage. Then cut the meat into portions measuring 1 by 4 centimeters or cubes 3 by 3 centimeters.

Step 2: Prepare the remaining ingredients.


Then, using a clean knife, remove the peel from the onion, and remove the roots of each mushroom. We rinse these products under running cold running water, dry them, place them one by one on a cutting board and chop them. Chop the champignons into layers, cubes, slices of any shape, or divide each into 4-6 parts.

Chop the onion into strips, half rings, quarters or cubes up to 1 centimeter thick. After this, put a deep saucepan with the required amount of purified water on medium heat, let it slowly boil, and lay out the remaining ingredients that will be needed to prepare the dish on the countertop.

Step 3: prepare creamy sauce with chicken and mushrooms.


Next, turn on the adjacent burner to medium heat, place a deep frying pan on it and add a little vegetable oil, preferably refined oil, into this dish. After a few minutes, dip the chopped onions into the heated fat and saute them until transparent for 3–4 minutes, periodically loosening it with a wooden or silicone kitchen spatula.

As soon as the vegetable softens, add chopped fillet to it and cook them together for about 5-7 minutes or until the chicken changes color from pink to a light beige-grayish color.

Then we put the chopped champignons into the frying pan and begin to simmer the food in the released mushroom juice.

In about 10 minutes The moisture will evaporate and everything will begin to fry. When the meat with mushrooms and onions are slightly browned, sprinkle them with sifted wheat flour, mix carefully so that no lumps form, and pour in the required amount of cream.

Season the semi-finished sauce to taste with salt and ground black pepper, loosen again until smooth, reduce the heat under the frying pan to low and simmer under the lid. 15–20 minutes. After this, move the aromatic creamy mixture aside and let it brew for 10–15 minutes.

Step 4: cook spaghetti.


Meanwhile, the water in the pan is boiling, pour salt into it at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 1 liter and lower the spaghetti into the hot liquid, after fanning it out or breaking it in half crosswise. After a minute, lightly crush the pasta with a tablespoon so that it is completely immersed in water, and after boiling again, cook the pasta, without covering, for about 8–9 minutes until al dente, that is, until almost completely cooked, so that It stuck to the teeth, but was not too soft either. Then we throw the spaghetti that has reached the desired consistency into a colander without rinsing, leave it in the sink for a while to drain off excess liquid, and proceed to the next, final step.

Step 5: Serve spaghetti with chicken and mushrooms.


Spaghetti with chicken and mushrooms is a surprisingly tender second course, served hot for a hearty lunch or dinner. After cooking, the warm pasta is distributed onto plates and each serving is topped with hot sauce made from meat and champignons.

The recipe contains the simplest spices; if desired, their set can be varied based on personal taste preferences, but it is better that the spices, as well as dried herbs, are suitable for meat, poultry and mushroom dishes;

An excellent alternative to cream is sour cream with 10 to 21% fat content, onions - leeks or sweet Bulgarian, vegetable oil - butter, and champignons - any other variety of edible mushrooms;

Some housewives stew some carrots and sweet peppers along with onions, and only then gradually add the rest of the ingredients;

Before serving, it is better to heat the serving plate a little in the microwave or slightly open oven, this way you will retain the heat of the finished dish for a longer time, because, as you know, any boiled pasta cools down very quickly.
