Ingredients
Ingredients
boneless skinless chicken breasts
10 (Trimmed and pounded to an even thickness)
butter
1 slice (Divided into two halves for sautéing)
sliced mushrooms
1 lb (Fresh or canned, cleaned)
whipping cream
1 pint (Heavy cream)
fresh grated parmesan cheese
to taste (For topping)
fettuccine pasta
1 (16 ounce) package (Cooked according to package instructions)
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2
In a large skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 20 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked, ensuring an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
3
In another skillet, melt the remaining butter and add the sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the mushrooms are tender and the moisture has evaporated, about 5-7 minutes.
4
Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a 13x9 inch baking dish. Layer the sautéed mushrooms on top of the chicken.
5
In a bowl, mix the whipping cream with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour the cream mixture evenly over the chicken and mushrooms, saving a bit for later use with the pasta.
6
Sprinkle fresh grated Parmesan cheese generously over the top.
7
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the chicken is bubbly and the cheese is melted and golden.
8
While the chicken bakes, cook the fettuccine pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and return to the pot.
9
Drizzle the remaining whipping cream and melted butter over the fettuccine, tossing to coat evenly. Mix in additional Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste.
10
Serve the creamy chicken mushroom bake alongside the fettuccine noodles, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.
