    Portobello mushrooms are sautéed in butter with a little onion until tender and golden. Chicken broth and creamy Mascarpone are added to make a silky smooth, creamy sauce bursting with flavor. Freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano deepens the flavor and a sprinkle of fresh thyme pairs perfectly with the Portobellos. Top with slices of grilled chicken breasts for a one dish meal that will have you saying Wow! after each bite.

    Pin Recipe

    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 4 tablespoons butter (2oz, 57g)
    • 1 onion, chopped fine
    • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
    • 12 ounces Portobello mushrooms, sliced (340g)
    • 8 ounces mascarpone (227g)
    • 2 cups chicken broth *see note* (446g)
    • ½ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano (1.4oz, 40g)
    • 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
    • salt, pepper, crushed red pepper flakes to taste
    • 1 pound sliced, grilled chicken breasts (454g)
    • 1 pound box of pasta, cooked and buttered (454g)

    Instructions

    1. Sauté onion in butter in a large pan until softened.
    2. Add garlic and sauté 1 minute.
    3. Add Portobello mushrooms and sauté until tender and golden and the onions are golden brown.
    4. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
    5. Turn heat to low and add Mascarpone, stirring to combine until the Mascarpone is thoroughly melted and incorporated into sauce. Don't let boil.
    6. Add Parmigiano-Reggiano and stir until melted.
    7. Add thyme and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes to taste.
    8. Toss cooked, buttered pasta with sauce and top with sliced chicken breast.
    9. Best served immediately after tossing with sauce.

    Notes

    *I like to use 2 cups of water with 2 chicken bouillon cubes. The bouillon cubes really bring out the flavor.

    *To make a one-pan sauce, instead of grilling chicken breasts, saute chicken breasts in pan then remove before continuing sauce in the same pan.

      I made this for supper tonight and it was really good. I made half the recipe as it’s just my husband and I. I added about 2 cups of fresh spinach and the full amount of mushrooms. Thank you for the recipe!

        I also used plain Greek yogurt in place of the mascarpone, since I had the yogurt on hand.
