Creamy Mushroom & Chicken Pasta

Ingredients

200 g button mushrooms, sliced
500 g chicken breast or thigh, diced
100 ml MAGGI Chicken Stock (made using 1 cube)
50 ml cream
2 tablespoons of fresh parsley, chopped
400 g pasta (penne, fusilli, or spaghetti work well)
½ an onion, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
150 g spinach, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons of oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Method

Step 1

Sear the Chicken : Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through—this should take about 6–8 minutes. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 2

Sauté the Mushrooms and Onions : In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms and chopped onion. Sauté over medium heat until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are soft and translucent. This step enhances the flavour and texture of the mushrooms while building a solid flavour base.

Step 3

Add Garlic and Deglaze : Add the minced garlic and stir it into the mushroom-onion mixture. Sauté for 1–2 minutes until fragrant, then pour in the prepared MAGGI Chicken Stock and cream. Let it simmer gently until the sauce begins to thicken. The stock adds a savoury depth while the cream brings in smoothness and richness.

Step 4

Cook the Pasta : While the sauce is simmering, cook your pasta in a pot of boiling salted water according to the package directions. Drain and set aside.

Step 5

Combine Everything : Add the cooked chicken and chopped spinach into the creamy mushroom sauce. Let the spinach wilt slightly. Then add the cooked pasta directly into the sauce and toss well to coat everything evenly. Simmer for a few more minutes to allow the flavours to meld together.

Step 6

Garnish and Serve : Once everything is combined and hot, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley on top. Serve immediately, garnished with additional parsley or a light grating of cheese if desired.
