Ingredients

2 Tablespoons Olive Oil
1 Pound Chicken Breast diced
8 Ounces Mushrooms sliced
2 Garlic Cloves minced
2 Cups Chicken Broth
1 Cup Heavy Cream or light cream for a healthier option
8 Ounces Pasta penne or any short pasta
½ Teaspoon Salt
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
1 Teaspoon Italian Seasoning
½ Cup Parmesan Cheese grated
Fresh Parsley for garnish

Instructions

1. Heat the Olive Oil
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Make sure the oil is hot enough to cook the chicken.
2. Cook the Chicken
Add the diced chicken to the pot. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is golden and cooked through.
3. Add the Mushrooms and Garlic
Toss in the sliced mushrooms and minced garlic. Stir for about 3 minutes until the mushrooms soften and the garlic smells delicious.
4. Add Broth, Cream, and Pasta
Pour in the chicken broth and cream. Stir well to combine. Add the pasta and make sure it’s covered by the liquid.
5. Simmer the Pasta
Bring everything to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and simmer for 12-15 minutes until the pasta is tender and has absorbed most of the liquid.
6. Add Parmesan and Garnish
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the sauce, making it extra creamy. Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Serve the creamy chicken mushroom one-pot hot and enjoy a comforting, delicious dinner with minimal cleanup!
