Instructions:
-
Cook Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Set aside.
-
Saute Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, heat a large nonstick skillet coated with cooking spray over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sautΓ© for about 4 minutes or until fully cooked. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
-
Prepare Shallots and Mushrooms: In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chopped shallots and sautΓ© for about 1 minute until they start to soften. Then, add the mushrooms and continue to sautΓ© for about 4 minutes until they are tender.
-
Deglaze with Wine: Pour in the dry white wine and cook for about 3 minutes or until the liquid has almost evaporated, leaving behind a flavorful base.
-
Create Creamy Sauce: In a small bowl, combine the nonfat milk and all-purpose flour, stirring well with a whisk until smooth. Pour this milk mixture into the skillet with the mushrooms and shallots. Cook for about 3 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
-
Add Chicken and Seasonings: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add grated cheese, fresh parsley, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
-
Simmer and Serve: Reduce the heat to low and let the dish simmer for an additional 3 minutes, allowing all the flavors to meld together. Once thoroughly heated, serve the creamy chicken and mushrooms over the cooked pasta. Sprinkle with additional fresh parsley for a burst of color and flavor, if desired.
