Ingredients
1 dry penne pasta (250 grams)
30 gram Butter
.5 kg chicken thighs-thinly sliced
1 baby swiss brown mushrooms (200 grams)-cut into quarters
1 small handful of parsley-finely chopped
50 gram dry breadcrumbs
2 pouches Mushroom Sauce by Manu (150 grams)
1 cup tasty cheese (200 grams)-grated
1 Olive oil (80ml)
Directions
- Cook pasta in salted boiling water for 7-8 minutes or until al dente. Drain well and set to one side.
- Preheat oven to 200°C with the grill on.
- Heat a wok or frying pan over a high heat. Pour in half the oil and when hot, add the chicken thighs. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the chicken is taking on a little bit of colour and not quite cooked through. Transfer to a bowl and return the pan to the heat.
- Add remaining olive oil and when hot, add the mushrooms. Cook for 4-5 minutes, add butter half way through, and stir occasionally, until the butter is melted and mushrooms are golden.
- Return the chicken to the pan, turn off the heat, add the sauce and gently mix. Stir in parsley, add pasta and mix to combine.
- Pour into a 6 cup capacity oven dish, sprinkle over bread crumbs and scatter over cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden. Spoon into serving bowls. Bon appetite!
