Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta ((or any kind of pasta))
  • 4 small boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt & Pepper to taste
  • 1-2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 16 ounces mushrooms ((such as button or crimini), sliced)
  • 1 cup champagne ((or white wine))
  • 14 ounces chicken broth
  • 8 ounces cream cheese ( (regular or reduced fat); cut into small chunks)
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil (chopped)

Instruction

  • Prepare pasta according to package directions.
  • Meanwhile, cut chicken in half and pound to about 1/2-inch thickness. (Or you can leave chicken whole, but increase cooking time by a few minutes per side.) Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Place a large skillet with deep sides over medium-high heat. Add enough oil to pan to cover bottom of pan. Cook chicken (in batches if necessary) about 3-4 minutes per side, or until nearly cooked through. Remove chicken from pan and set aside.
  • Place skillet back over medium-high heat. Add garlic and mushrooms and cook about 3-5 minutes or until mushrooms start to soften. Add champagne and cook about 5 minutes or until slightly reduced. Add chicken back to pan, as well as chicken broth and cream cheese and whisk until cream cheese has melted. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to simmer. Cook about 3-5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. Stir in pasta.
  • Divide pasta among serving dishes, top with chicken, and garnish with basil.
