CHICKEN & MUSHROOM PASTA

This is my take on Jollibee’s new Pasta dish – Chicken & Mushroom Pasta.  My daughter loved it so much that I decided to make one at home, actually this is a healthier version.  Delish and so easy to prepare.  Make this dish tonight!

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PASTA

Ingredients:

1 tbsp Olive oil or Vegetable oil

500 grams  Boneless Chicken Breast, cut into ½  x 1 inchstrips

1 tbsp Chopped Garlic

1 pc Chopped Onion

1 can Diced Tomatoes

½ cup Tomato Sauce

1 cup Sliced mushrooms

¼ cup All Purpose Cream

Few pcs of Fresh Basil Leaves (or you can use ½ tsp Dried Basil leaves)

Sugar, salt and pepper to taste

300 grams  Cooked pasta (spaghetti, fettucine or penne)

Cooking Instructions:

·        In a cooking pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-heat.  Add the garlic, then the onion, when the onion turns translucent, add the chicken and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes or until its just beginning to brown. 

·        Then add the mushroom, the tomato chunks and tomato sauce, cook for another 5 to 7 minutes.  Put ¼ cup water, season with salt and pepper.  Cover with a lid, lower the heat a bit more and cook for another 10 minutes stirring occasionally. 

·        Then add  the chopped fresh basil (or dried basil leaves) and the cream, adjust seasoning, if you find the tomato taste too strong, ad about 1/4 tsp of sugar.  Serve over cooked pasta and sprinkle with grated cheese.  Enjoy!
