Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 8 ounces mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 small onion (diced)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 ½ cups milk
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy whipping cream
- 12 ounces rotini (or penne)
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Steps
-
Cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and season with the basil, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
-
In a large skillet with a lid, heat the vegetable oil over medium high heat. Add the chicken and cook until lightly browned and cooked through, about 5 to 6 minutes. Set aside in a bowl.
-
Add the onion, mushrooms, and garlic to the pan. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until the onion begins to soften. Stir in the milk, chicken broth, cream, pasta, and corn starch.
-
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce to a simmer and cover. Cook covered for 8 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until pasta is tender. Add water or additional broth as needed. Once pasta is tender, mix in cooked chicken.
-
Remove the pasta from the heat and let rest uncovered for 5 minutes. Stir and season with additional salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese.
