Instructions

  • Marinate your chicken in the ingredients above for a minimum of 30 minutes up to 2 hours.
  • Heat olive oil in a grill pan and cook your chicken on medium high heat until it's tender and juicy with a crispy exterior.

For the Sauce

  • Start by adding your mushrooms to a pan with a tiny bit of butter. Saute until the mushrooms have released their water and reduced in size. Keep aside.
  • In a pot add your butter and oil. Once it's melted, add your crushed garlic and saute until fragrant.
  • Add flour and mix until the color changes to a very light brown and the flour no longer looks raw.
  • Take the pot off heat and add your chicken stock slowly, whisking to keep any lumps away.
  • Add your milk. Whisk.
  • Add your cream. Whisk.
  • Put your mixture back on low heat and continue to stir until the sauce begins to thicken.
  • Once you're close to the consistency you want, add salt, white pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and mixed herbs and stir to combine.
  • Turn the heat off once your sauce is thick enough for your liking.
  • Slice or dice your cooked chicken and add it to your sauce along with the cooked mushrooms.
  • Add your pasta right before serving, sprinkle with cheese.
