Method
-
1. Cube the chicken breasts, place them in a bowl and add the olive oil, garlic powder, salt, black pepper & dried thyme. Mix well.
-
2. Fry the chicken in a pan over a medium heat until golden and just cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
-
3. In the same pan, melt the butter, then add the mushrooms. Fry until they become golden and tender. Try not to move them about too much: you want them caramelised on all sides.
-
4. Pour in the chicken stock, then stir in the Royco® Creamy Mushroom Pasta Sauce. If the stock is bubbling rapidly, lower the heat before you pour in the sauce, otherwise it may curdle.
-
5. Simmer for a few minutes, until thickened slightly.
-
6. Meanwhile, cook the pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Retain 1 cup (250 ml) of the starchy pasta water before draining. The pasta water is optional, and may be added according to the desired consistency of your sauce.
-
7 Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the sauce and stir.
-
8 Allow to heat through, then serve topped with grated Parmesan and basil leaves or chopped fresh parsley.
