Marry Me Chicken With Mushrooms


  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Cook Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 6 Servings

Description

Creamy, dreamy, and packed with flavor, this recipe for Marry Me Chicken with Mushrooms is a one-pan wonder made to impress. Inspired by the viral sensation, this version takes things up a notch with tender white button mushrooms*, juicy chicken, and a rich sun-dried tomato and Parmesan cream sauce. 

 

*You can also use Baby Bella mushrooms in this recipe for a deeper, earthier flavor and a heartier texture.


Ingredients

  • 1 lb. tagliatelle or fettuccine pasta
  • 1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 11 pieces, approximately 2 inches each
  • 1-½ tsp. kosher salt, divided
  • ½ tsp. black pepper, divided
  • 1 jar (8 oz.) oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes, drained, 2 Tbsp. oil reserved
  • 16 oz. Monterey Mushrooms®, sliced (Whites or Baby Bellas)*
  • 1 yellow onion, diced
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tsp. minced fresh rosemary
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • 8 oz. full-fat cream cheese, cut into large chunks
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 5 oz. baby spinach (about 5 packed cups)

*Selecting Monterey Mushrooms® "High Vitamin D" Mushrooms will provide you with 400 IU's of vitamin D per 3 oz serving, which is 50% of the Daily Value as recommended by the FDA.


Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.  Meanwhile, season chicken with half the salt and pepper.

  2. Heat a 12-inch skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add 1 Tbsp. of reserved sun-dried tomato oil, and swirl to coat the pan. Add chicken, and cook until browned on two sides, turning once, 3 to 4 minutes, adjusting heat, as needed (it may not be totally cooked through at this point). Transfer chicken to a plate.

  3. To the pan, add remaining 1 Tbsp. reserved oil, mushrooms, onion, and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are tender and onions translucent, 5 to 6 minutes, adjusting heat as needed to prevent burning.

  4. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, rosemary, and remaining half of salt and pepper. Cook until fragrant and thoroughly combined, about 1 minute. Add broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up bits from the bottom of the pan.

  5. Add cream cheese and Parmesan and allow to melt in, about 1 minute. Stir in pasta and return chicken to pan. Add some reserved pasta water, as needed, to create thick and creamy sauce that nicely coats the noodles.

  6. Add spinach and stir it in, cook just until wilted. Divide pasta between warmed bowls and top with more Parmesan cheese before serving.
