CHICKEN TETRAZZINI (CREAMY CHICKEN MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE)

Steps:

• Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large pot over high heat. Add chicken, sprinkle with pinch of salt and pepper. Cook 1 1/2 minutes until golden.
• Turn chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook 1 minute until golden then remove onto plate - doesn't need to be fully cooked (will cook more in oven).
• Rest 5 minutes, then chop into small pieces, or shred.
• Preheat oven to 160°C / 325°F.
• Cook mushrooms: Melt 4 tbsp butter over high heat in the same pot. Add mushrooms and cook for 4 minutes until starting to go floppy but not yet golden.
• Add onion: Add garlic and onion, cook for 3 minutes until mushrooms are golden. Add a pinch of salt and pepper halfway through.
• Add flour & milk: Turn heat down to medium. Add flour. Stir for 30 seconds. Add milk and stir for 10 seconds or until it thickens (see video at 52 sec).
• Add cream and broth: Add chicken stock, cream, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Stir, then let the mixture heat up, stirring every now and then so it doesn't catch on the base, and cook until the sauce thickens enough so you can draw a path on the back of the spoon (video at 1.04). Do not make it very thick - it gets thicker in next steps.
• Add cheese & pasta: Turn stove off. Stir through half the cheese (will melt in oven), then add pasta and chicken. Toss to mix, taste and add more salt if needed.
• Bake: Pour into 23 x 33cm / 9 x 13" pan, smooth surface. Top with remaining cheese. Bake 25 minutes until golden and bubbly. Serve immediately!

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Toss sliced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a baking dish. Add smashed garlic.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; flip chicken over and continue to cook until no longer pink in the centers, about 8 minutes more.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
• Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms in the butter until all water is released, 7 to 10 minutes. Add ham and minced garlic; cook and stir for 5 minutes.

CREAMY BAKED CHICKEN AND MUSHROOMS

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and cook until it is semi-transparent, about 5 minutes. Add parsley and stir until coated. Place chicken in the skillet and brown, about 5 minutes per side. Add poultry seasoning and cayenne, making sure chicken is coated. Transfer chicken to a 9x13-inch dish. Cover with mushrooms and set aside on a warming plate.
• Combine soup, heavy cream, and buttermilk in a mixing bowl. Add the onion mixture and combine. Pour over the chicken. Cover the tops with Swiss cheese, making sure all areas are covered.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 1 hour and 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and let stand for 15 minutes.

BAKED PASTA WITH MUSHROOM CHICKEN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• Whisk together 2 Tbsp of the milk with all of the cornstarch until dissolved.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine remaining milk, chicken broth, and sherry; bring to just a light boil.
• Working quickly so as not to burn the milk, stir in cornstarch mixture and cook 1-2 minutes, or until sauce is simmering and thickened, stirring constantly.
• Add salt and pepper to taste; simmer on low 3 minutes longer, stirring.
• Pour sauce into a large bowl and add pasta, chicken, peas, mushrooms, and pimentos.
• Stir in 1/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese and stir to combine until all pasta is coated.
• Pour into a greased shallow baking dish.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining cheese and bread crumbs, sprinkle over the pasta to coat.
• Bake 30 minutes, uncovered, until bubbly and golden brown.
• Serve hot, with additional Parmesan on the side if desired.
• Note: Do not use the product labeled as"cooking sherry" as it has added salt and will not taste the same; If you don't have any real sherry, you may substitute white wine or vermouth.

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.
