Ingredients and Variations
Chicken – Boneless skinless chicken breasts can be replaced with chicken thighs. If using rotisserie chicken, add it towards the end of cooking so it doesn’t dry out. Pasta – Choose medium-sized shapes so you get a little bit of everything in one bite. Small shells, penne, or rotini are excellent choices. Sauce – Milk and cream give this sauce a creamy texture while broth adds flavor. Variations – Broccoli florets, sliced zucchini or brussels sprouts, or chopped kale pair perfectly with mushrooms. Try chopped fresh spinach and some extra Italian seasoning to change it up.
How to Make Mushroom Chicken Pasta
Storing Leftovers
Keep leftover mushroom chicken pasta in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. For a freezer-friendly version, make the sauce and chicken and freeze it, then defrost and add fresh pasta when ready to serve.
