  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 Chicken Breasts
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil

Sauce and Pasta

  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 3 Cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 Shallot, minced
  • 2 Cups Mushrooms, sliced
  • 32 oz Chicken Stock or Bone Broth
  • 1 1/2 to 2 Cups Heavy Cream
  • 1 Box Spaghetti Pasta (approximately 12 oz)
  • 1/4 Cup Parmesan Cheese, grated
  • Fresh Parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Cook the chicken: In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the seasoned chicken breasts in coconut oil for about 7-8 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked through. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside, keeping it warm.
  2. Sauté aromatics and mushrooms: Add butter, minced garlic, and minced shallot to the same skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Then add the mushrooms and cook until they begin to soften and release their moisture.
  3. Add liquids and pasta: Pour in the chicken stock and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add the box of raw spaghetti pasta directly into the pan, ensuring it is submerged in the sauce. Let the pasta cook and absorb the sauce, stirring occasionally. The starch released from the pasta will naturally thicken the sauce as it cooks.
  4. Finish the sauce: Once the pasta is cooked to al dente, stir in the grated Parmesan cheese to enrich and thicken the sauce further. Remove the pan from the heat.
  5. Combine and serve: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan, nestling them into the creamy pasta mixture. Garnish generously with fresh parsley and additional Parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

  • Use bone broth for a richer flavor, but chicken stock works well too.
  • Adjust the amount of heavy cream depending on how creamy you prefer your sauce.
  • If you prefer, substitute spaghetti with any pasta shape of your choice.
  • Make sure the pasta is well submerged in liquid to cook evenly in one pan.
  • For a lower fat version, you can substitute half and half for heavy cream, but the sauce will be less rich.
