This creamy chicken mushroom pasta recipe is a genuine weeknight rescue, golden chicken and mushrooms in a sauce built on LANCEWOOD Sauce Delight® Pepper Sauce and Mushroom Sauce, ready before anyone gets too hungry to wait.

Expand Full Description

The pepper gives this sauce some bite, and the mushrooms round it out with something earthier than either could manage alone. A squeeze of lemon at the end cuts through the richness, so the last forkful tastes as good as the first.

It comes together fast enough for a weeknight, but tastes like more time went into it, the kind of pasta that gets second helpings before everyone’s finished their first plate.

Ingredients:

500 g chicken breast(s), cut into thin slices
60 ml butter
1 onion(s), chopped
400 g mixed mushrooms, chopped
salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste
250 ml LANCEWOOD Sauce Delight® Pepper Sauce
250 ml LANCEWOOD Sauce Delight® Mushroom Sauce
125 ml milk
500 ml penne pasta, cooked
1 lemon, juice of half the lemon

To serve:
60 ml Parmesan, grated
30 ml fresh parsley, chopped

Method

Heat the butter and fry the chicken until golden. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Fry the onion and mushrooms until cooked and golden and season to taste.
Add the chicken to the pan together with the pepper and mushroom sauce. Stir through.
Add the cooked penne pasta and milk and heat through. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and seasoning to taste.

To serve:
Serve with grated Parmesan and a sprinkle of parsley.
