Creamy Chicken Tagliatelle

Creamy Chicken Tagliatelle is a simple family meal that everybody enjoys. The simple combination of the moist chicken breast, perfect tagliatelle and lovely creamy sauce is a winner. I especially make this after a big roast meal to use the leftover chicken. This recipe uses tagliatelle but any pasta (spaghetti, conchiglie, farfalle) can be used.

Ingredients

 

MetricImperial

• 180 g tagliatelle
• 150 g cooked chicken bite size pieces
• 135 ml single cream
• 10 large mushrooms peeled and sliced
• ½ bunch green onions chopped (optional)
• 1 tbsp plain flour
• 1 knob butter frying
• 25 g parmesan grated plus extra for serving
• 120 ml chicken stock or white wine
• salt
• ground black pepper

Instructions

• Place a large pan of salted water over a high heat and bring to the boil.
• Add the pasta and cook according to instructions.
• Whilst the pasta is cooking, add the chicken pieces, salt and pepper and the flour into a bowl and mix well. The chicken needs to be coated with the dry ingredients.
• Place a frying pan over a medium high heat and add the butter.
• When the butter has melted, add the mushrooms and spring onions and fry for 5 minutes until tender.
• Reduce the heat under the frying pan to medium and add the chicken .
• Stir everything together and add the wine/stock.
• When the wine/stock is bubbling, reduce the heat again to low.
• Once the chicken is hot, add the cream ansd parmesan cheese and stir well.
• Taste and season with salt and pepper accordingly.
• The pasta should be cooked by now. Place a large mug in your sink and drain the pasta over it. It will catch the starchy water which is ideal for thinning a sauce if required.
• Add the pasta to the chicken and cream mixture and stir well.
• Use a little of the pasta water if needed to thin the sauce.
• Grate a little cheese over for the finishing touch.
• Serve immediately and enjoy.
