Ingredients

• 400 g spaghetti
• 2 pieces chicken breast
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 3 pieces garlic cloves, minced
• 250 g white mushrooms, sliced
• 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 cups chicken broth
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the spaghetti according to the package instructions until al dente. Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta water, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

Season the chicken breasts with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked (internal temperature of 165°F / 74°C). Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing into strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes until they are softened and golden. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.

Step 7

Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 8

Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and coat the back of a spoon.

Step 9

Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Step 10

Add the cooked spaghetti to the skillet, tossing it to coat evenly in the creamy sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water to loosen it.

Step 11

Add the sliced chicken back to the skillet and toss to combine. Let everything warm through for 2-3 minutes.

Step 12

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and a sprinkle of red chili flakes, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your White Chicken Mushroom Spaghetti!
