Ingredients
- 1 box Barilla Gluten Free Fettuccine Pasta
- 1 lb boneless, skinless, chicken breast (cut into bite-sized cubes)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz baby bella mushrooms (sliced)
- 1 medium onion (quartered and sliced)
- 1 large clove fresh garlic (finely chopped)
- ½ cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tbsp dijon mustard
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- 2 tbsp fresh tarragon (tough stems removed & finely chopped)
- salt & pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet to medium high heat and drizzle with olive oil. Cook the cubed chicken on all sides, seasoning with salt and pepper. Approximately 5-7 minutes, depending on the size of the cubes of chicken.. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, drizzle with more olive oil. Add the mushrooms and onions, seasoning with salt and pepper. Stir from time to time until cooked through and lightly browned. Approximately 7 minutes.
- Turn the heat down to medium and add the chopped garlic. Stir and allow to heat through and become fragrant for about 1 minute. Add the fresh lemon juice, dijon mustard and sour cream. Stir to combine well and turn off the heat until the pasta is fully cooked.
- Boil fettuccine pasta for 9-10 minutes in heavily salted water. Using tongs or a slotted pasta spoon, transfer the cooked pasta to the skillet with the mushroom sauce. Reserve the pasta water. Add the cooked chicken and tarragon, stirring to combine well. Turn the heat back to medium low heat, stir and allow to heat through.
- Taste and reseason if needed. If the sauce is too thick, add a ladle or two of pasta water until it reaches your desired thickness. Another option would be to add chicken stock or white wine to add flavor and reach the desired thickness.
