A little chicken (less than a pound) goes a long way in this rich, creamy dish. We love whole wheat spaghetti with the rustic mushroom-infused sauce, but any long pasta, such as bucatini, spagettini or linguine, can be a delicious partner. Feel free to improvise with whatever type is waiting in your pantry.

Ingredients

Method

Sprinkle chicken with half each of the salt and pepper.

In large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; cook chicken, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; slice thinly across the grain.

Add remaining oil to pan; reduce heat to medium. Cook mushrooms, thyme and remaining salt and pepper until mushrooms are tender and golden, about 8 minutes.

Stir in broth; bring to boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Stir in cream, parsley and mustard; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Discard thyme.

Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid, drain.

Return pasta to pot. Add sauce and chicken; toss, adding as much of the reserved cooking liquid as needed to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and pepper (if using).
