CHICKEN MUSHROOM BOW TIE PASTA WITH GARLICKY CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add shallot, sauté about 5 minutes until softened, then add garlic, sauté another minute. Stir in the mushrooms, cook about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
• Stir in the cooking wine along with the thyme and oregano. cook a couple of minutes so the mushrooms absorb the wine.
• Push the mushroom mixture to the sides of the pan, put another tablespoon olive oil into the center of the pan and heat. Cook the chicken on 1 side until that side turns white, about 2-3 minutes, then flip to begin cooking the other side.
• Start cooking the pasta according to package instructions around the time you add the chicken to the skillet.
• When the outside of the chicken pieces are white and beginning to brown, stir up the pan to combine the chicken with mushrooms. Cook a couple minutes more until the chicken is nearly cooked through, then stir in the cream and simmer to finish cooking the chicken. The chicken will need about 10-12 minutes total cooking time-but cut a piece open to see that it is cooked through.
• Drain the pasta when it has cooked to your liking. Toss with the chicken and mushroom mixture and the grated cheese. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!

CREAMY ONE-POT PASTA WITH CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Put 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat. When hot, add shallot, garlic and mushrooms. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms soften and begin to brown on edges, about 10 minutes. Add pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until it is glossy and coated with oil, 2 to 3 minutes. Add a little salt and pepper, then wine. Stir and let liquid bubble away.
• Ladle stock into skillet 1/2 cup or so at a time, stirring after each addition and every minute or so. When liquid is just about evaporated, add more. Mixture should be neither soupy nor dry. Keep heat at medium and stir frequently.
• Begin tasting pasta 10 minutes after you add it; you want it to be tender but with a tiny bit of crunch. When pasta is about 3 to 4 minutes away from being done, add chicken and stir to combine. Continue to cook until chicken is done - it will be white on inside when cut - and pasta is how you like it. Taste, adjust seasoning, garnish with parsley and Parmesan if using, and serve.
