Chicken mushroom pasta

As I was about to type up this recipe I stopped. I have made this dish so often I was sure I had written a post on this before. It’s my go to when I don’t know what to do because it’s so simple and still so delicious.

This time it happened because I forgot to take a crucial ingredient for the dish I wanted to make for supper out the freezer. I messaged the husband to take it out for me but by the time I was done working I could see he hadn’t seen the message. I popped into the shop on the way and grabbed the default.

• Skinless, free range chicken breasts.
• Punnet of mushrooms
• Smooth cottage cheese
• Herbs

All the rest I tend to go with what I have at home. So it comes out a bit different every time but, for me, the seasoning throughout is the key to making this dish amazing, and garlic, definitely the garlic.

Simple, easy, no fuss. Give it a try on those days where you have too much to do and you need to feed someone (even if it’s just you)
