Step-by-Step Instructions

1. 1.Pan-Sear Chicken

   Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, paprika, and dried herbs. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.

2. 2.Sauté Aromatics and Mushrooms

   In the same pan, add 1 tbsp butter or olive oil if needed. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add sliced mushrooms and cook for 3-5 minutes until they release their moisture and turn golden.

3. 3.Prepare Cream Sauce

   Sprinkle 1 tbsp all-purpose flour over the mushrooms and stir for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in 1 cup heavy cream and 1/2 cup milk, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.

4. 4.Season the Sauce

   Season the sauce with salt, black pepper, 1/2 tsp chilli flakes, and 1/2 tsp dried herbs. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

5. 5.Combine Pasta and Sauce

   Add 200g cooked fettuccine pasta to the creamy mushroom sauce. Toss well to coat all the pasta evenly.

6. 6.Add Chicken and Serve

   Slice the pan-seared chicken breasts and add them to the pasta. Gently mix everything together. Serve hot.
