Ingredients
- 8 ounce (227 g) s uncooked pasta
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) olive oil
- 2 tablespoon (30 ml) s butter divided
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) garlic powder
- Flour for dredging
- 8 ounce (227 g) s cremini mushrooms
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) grape juice
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) Dijon mustard
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) coconut cream
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese optional , to taste
Instructions
- Prepare a large pot of salted water and bring it to a boil for the pasta. Cook the pasta following the package instructions until it is firm to the bite.
- In the meantime, dice the chicken into small pieces, sprinkle with garlic powder, and dredge in flour.
- Heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the pan is hot, place the chicken pieces in it. Sauté for approximately 5 minutes, using tongs to turn, until slightly browned (it will finish cooking later, so avoid overcooking). Move the chicken to a plate.
- Add the remaining butter to the same pan. Introduce the mushrooms and cook for 3-4 minutes or until they have released their moisture, and it has evaporated somewhat. Remove the mushrooms from the pan (they can be placed on the same plate as the chicken).
- Pour the chicken broth, grape juice, and Dijon mustard into the pan. Stir or whisk until the mustard is fully blended in, and let it simmer for about 2 minutes to reduce slightly.
- Return the chicken, mushrooms, and coconut cream to the pan, then lower the heat to medium. Cook for a few minutes until the sauce thickens and the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
- Add salt and pepper to your liking. Drain the pasta and mix it with the sauce (add a bit of pasta water if necessary to achieve the desired consistency) and serve, garnished with parmesan cheese if you wish.
Notes
- For a healthier option, use whole wheat or gluten-free pasta.
- Enhance the flavor by adding a splash of white to the sauce.
- Swap coconut cream with heavy cream or Greek yogurt for a creamier texture.
