Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Mushrooms
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite-sized pieces
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 onion, finely diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 10 oz mushrooms, sliced
Sauce and Pasta
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried thyme
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 8 oz egg noodles
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper. Cook the chicken until golden brown on all sides, then remove from skillet and set aside.
- Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the finely diced onion and minced garlic cloves, sautéing until they become fragrant and translucent.
- Cook Mushrooms: Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they are softened and have released their moisture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Create Roux and Add Broth: Sprinkle the all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir well to evenly coat. Gradually pour in the chicken broth while continuously stirring to prevent lumps from forming.
- Add Cream and Seasonings: Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, paprika, dried thyme, and black pepper. Let the sauce simmer gently until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
- Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken pieces to the skillet, tossing well to coat them in the creamy mushroom sauce.
- Prepare Noodles: Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions, drain thoroughly, and then add them into the skillet with the chicken and sauce. Mix to combine evenly.
- Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chopped fresh parsley over the dish for a fresh finish and serve warm.
Notes
- Use fresh mushrooms such as cremini or white button for best flavor.
- For a lighter option, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half, but the sauce will be less thick.
- To make it gluten-free, replace all-purpose flour and egg noodles with gluten-free alternatives.
- If you prefer, you can add a splash of white wine before adding the chicken broth for added depth.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
