Ingredients
Scale
Main Proteins:
- 8 ounces (227 grams) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1½ cups (150 grams) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 tablespoons (56 grams) whipped cream cheese
Vegetables and Seasonings:
- 1 cup (85 grams) fresh sliced mushrooms
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Liquids and Thickeners:
- 2 teaspoons (10 milliliters) vegetable or canola oil
- 2 teaspoons (6 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) chicken broth
- ½ cup (120 milliliters) evaporated milk
- 2 cups (240 grams) hot cooked fettuccine
Instructions
- Prepare the protein by searing chicken breasts in a heated skillet until golden and thoroughly cooked. Allow the meat to rest briefly, then slice into delicate, uniform strips for optimal texture and even distribution.
- Utilize the same skillet to sauté sliced mushrooms and fragrant garlic, creating a rich aromatic base. Swirl and stir to prevent burning and ensure even caramelization of ingredients.
- Dust the mushroom and garlic mixture with flour, whisking quickly to create a roux that will naturally thicken the upcoming sauce. Gradually incorporate chicken broth and evaporated milk, reducing heat and allowing the liquid to simmer and gradually condense.
- Introduce creamy elements by folding in whipped cream cheese and grated Parmesan, which will enhance the sauce’s luxurious consistency. Season with freshly cracked black pepper for depth of flavor.
- Reintegrate the sliced chicken into the velvety sauce, gently warming and melding all components together. Ensure each element is harmoniously blended and heated through.
- Plate the hot fettuccine as a foundational layer, then cascade the chicken and mushroom sauce over the pasta. Garnish with delicate sprigs of fresh parsley to add a vibrant, herbaceous finish that complements the rich, creamy dish.
