Recipe Ingredients
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 1 lb. chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
- 2 tbsp. salted butter
- 1 lb. mushrooms, sliced
- 1 lb. fettuccine
- 4 cloves of garlic, minced
Sauce:
- 3 tbsp. butter
- 2 tbsp. olive oil
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- ¼ tsp. ground white pepper
- ½ cup Paradise Island Shredded Parmesan
- ¾ cup Paradise Island Mozzarella or Paradise Island Lactose Free Mozzarella, grated
Recipe Directions
- In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until brown on all sides. Remove from heat and set aside.
- In the same pan, melt 2 tbsp. butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 10-12 minutes or until soft and caramelized.
- In a large pot, cook fettucine pasta until al dente. Reserve a cup of cooking water before draining. This comes in handy for the sauce.
- Once mushrooms are cooked, add garlic, and cook 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Add the cream, butter, and ground white pepper for the sauce and stir until butter is melted and combined. Cook over medium heat for 5-8 minutes, until sauce begins to thicken.
- Add cheese and cook until melted, stirring to combine.
- Add in cooked pasta, chicken, and mushrooms and toss gently until pasta is coated. You can add a little bit of pasta water if sauce is too thick.
- Top with additional Shredded Parmesan, serve, and enjoy!
