- 1 lb chicken breasts
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 16 oz small button mushrooms
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 375 g linguine
- 1/3 cup chopped parsley
Bruschetta
- 4 plum tomatoes, deseeded and diced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 tsp balsamic vinegar
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
- 1/2 tsp salt
Preheat grill to med-high. Add chicken and grill for 7-8 min per side. If not using BBQ, preheat oven to 425 F. Place chicken in a small oven-safe dish and cook in oven for 20 min. Once chicken is cooked, let cool then slice across the grain into bite-sized pieces.
Meanwhile, make bruschetta by mixing all ingredients under the bruschetta heading together.
Preheat oven to 450 F and toss olive oil, mushrooms, garlic and a little bit of salt and pepper in a large bowl. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 25 min, stirring every so often. Mushrooms can be made ahead of time and refrigerated for up to 3 days.
Cook pasta for 8-9 minutes until al dente and then drain. Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium-sized saucepan. Add flour and whisk to combine. Slowly stir in milk, whisking along the way. Add cream and stir. Wait until mixture comes just to a boil, then add cheese, salt and pepper.
Drain pasta, and add to cream sauce. Add bruschetta, garlic roasted mushrooms, and sliced chicken, tossing to combine. Cook mixture for another 3-4 min until all ingredients are hot. Remove from heat and stir in parsley. Serve and enjoy!
