Ingredients

  • 2 chicken breasts, thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini work well)
  • 1 cup corn (frozen or canned, drained)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 200g pasta (penne or rotini recommended)
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream or whole milk
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh thyme or parsley, for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add mushrooms and garlic. Cook for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are soft and fragrant.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Return the chicken to the skillet. Stir in corn, chicken broth, cream (or milk), and uncooked pasta. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.
  4. Simmer: Reduce heat to low and simmer for 12–15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  5. Add Cheese: Stir in grated Parmesan until the sauce is creamy and well-combined. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh thyme or parsley, if desired, and serve hot. Enjoy your creamy, comforting pasta! 🍝🌿

Tips

  • Make it Lighter: Swap heavy cream for half-and-half or whole milk for a less rich sauce.
  • Add Veggies: Toss in spinach, peas, or zucchini for extra color and nutrition.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
