Foglie Chef Doogie’s d’Autunno with Chicken and Portobella Mushrooms
Get ready to fall in love with this scrumptious dish! Imagine tender chicken mingling with the earthy flavors of portobella mushrooms, all wrapped up in the beautiful colors of autumn. This isn’t just cooking—this is a culinary hug!
Ingredients:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 large portobella mushrooms, sliced
- 1 cup of fresh spinach
- 1 cup of heavy cream
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves for garnish
- Pasta of your choice (because carbs make everything better!)
Instructions:
- First things first, set that pot of water to boil for your pasta. While you’re waiting, let’s give those chicken breasts some love! Season them with salt, pepper, and a sprinkle of garlic powder.
- In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Toss the chicken in and sear it until golden brown on both sides, about 5-6 minutes. Make sure to channel your inner chef while flipping!
- Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the skillet and let it rest. In the same skillet, add the sliced portobella mushrooms and sauté until they’re tender and fragrant—your kitchen is about to smell incredible!
- Add the heavy cream to the mushrooms and bring it to a gentle simmer. As it thickens, toss in the fresh spinach and stir until it wilts. This is where the magic happens!
- Slice the chicken and return it to the pan, allowing it to bask in that creamy goodness. Mix everything up like you’re performing a culinary dance.
- Once your pasta is done, drain it and toss it with the chicken and mushroom mixture. Top with fresh basil for a pop of flavor and pretend you’re in a fancy restaurant. Voilà!
There you have it! A dish that’s as warm and inviting as your favorite autumn sweater. Now, gather your friends and family around the table, because sharing is caring (especially when it comes to food!). Enjoy every bite!
