I’ve had this craving for some pasta with creamy sauce, so it’s off to Google I go for some easy recipes to try. After reading up on different ways on cooking cream sauce, I went on to experiment and was able to get a pretty good formula after one (semi-failed) try. The seasoning of this sauce comes mainly from the chicken mix, which I based off my mother’s grilled oregano chicken recipe.
Chicken & Cream pasta sauce
Ingredients
200 gram chicken fillet, cubed
1 tablespoon dried oregano
2 tablespoon olive oil (for marinade)
3 tetra-bricks of all-purpose cream
5 cloves of garlic, crushed
1 can of mushroom
1 cup peas
2 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup cheddar cheese
1/2 cup water
salt
pepper
olive oil
- In a box, mix the chicken fillet, oregano, salt, pepper and olive oil.
- Heat olive oil in a sauce pan on medium heat. Sautee the garlic, then add the chicken.
- Add in the mushroom and peas when the chicken is cooked. Simmer for one minute, then transfer into a bowl.
- In the same pan, put in the butter. As soon as it’s melted, add in the flour.
- Once the flour has totally mixed with the butter, add the cream and simmer, occasionally stirring.
- When the cream starts to boil, add the water and continue simmering.
- Add in the cheese when the sauce is gently boiling, stirring until the cheese thickens the sauce.
- Spoon in the chicken mix into the cream sauce, including the juice.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve hot over your pasta of choice.
