One-pot creamy chicken and mushroom pasta with peas image

Creamy chicken and mushroom pasta with peas is an easy, cheesy, one-pot pasta dinner that's ready in about 30 minutes!

Provided by Kathryn Doherty

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
8 oz. button mushrooms, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 (1 lb.) box penne pasta (whole wheat, regular or gluten free are fine)
3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
4 oz. plain cream cheese (I use 1/3 reduced fat)
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 (10 oz.) bag frozen peas, thawed
2 cups cooked, shredded chicken (see notes)
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Shredded Parmesan cheese (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onion and mushrooms and saute for 7-8 minutes, until onions are tender and the mushrooms have released most of their liquid.
  • Add garlic, salt and pepper and saute for another 30 seconds.
  • Add pasta and chicken broth and bring to a boil.
  • Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and cook for 8-10 minutes, until most of the liquid is absorbed and the pasta is nearly cooked. I lift the lid and stir it once or twice during the cooking time so the pasta gets moved around and can cook evenly.
  • Add cream cheese and mozzarella cheese and stir until melted and well combined. You can add an extra splash of chicken broth if needed to get everything to mix well.
  • Add thawed peas and shredded chicken and stir to combine. Turn off heat, cover and let sit for a few minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings.
  • Serve with fresh chopped parsley and Parmesan cheese (if using).

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
2 teaspoons jerk paste

RASTA PASTA WITH JERK CHICKEN



Rasta Pasta With Jerk Chicken image

Comforting and spicy in just the right way, Rasta pasta is popular in Jamaican communities across New York and beyond. This version gets its spice from jerk seasoning and a single Scotch bonnet. The bell peppers and green onions add not only texture, but a sweet crunch and brightness. You could swap salmon or shrimp for the chicken, or use fettuccine or rigatoni instead of the penne, if you like; just mind the cooking time. You could even halve the heavy cream, or substitute coconut milk for more depth of flavor. Feel free to refrigerate any leftovers, and either reheat or eat them cold the next day. This is a dish that gets better with a little time.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 tablespoons jerk seasoning
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound penne pasta
3 bell peppers, preferably a mix of colors, thinly sliced
4 green onions, sliced, plus more for garnish
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup jerk seasoning
2 fresh thyme sprigs
1 Scotch bonnet pepper, pierced, not sliced (optional)
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup vegetable or chicken stock
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Steps:

  • Prepare the chicken: In a medium bowl, combine jerk seasoning, 1 tablespoon olive oil, garlic powder and smoked paprika. Add chicken and toss to coat. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for 2 hours or up to 24 hours. Pull chicken out about 1 hour before cooking, so it comes to room temperature.
  • Heat oven to 400 degrees. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium. Add the chicken to the skillet, and sear chicken on both sides until browned, about 3 minutes per side.
  • Once chicken is seared, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast chicken until internal temperature reaches 165 degrees, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board, let rest for about 10 minutes, and slice on a bias.
  • As chicken roasts, prepare the pasta: Set a pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta, and cook according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil to a heavy pot set over medium, and sauté bell peppers with green onions until peppers are barely softened, about 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook until it's fragrant, about another minute.
  • Add the 1/4 cup jerk seasoning to the pot and combine. Add the thyme and pierced pepper. Add heavy cream and vegetable stock and bring to a simmer. Mix in the Parmesan, then add pasta.
  • Top with the jerk chicken, and garnish with green onions. Serve hot.
