Recipe Notes
Creamy Mushroom Chicken Pasta Storage Instructions
To store this pasta, place it in the fridge for up to 3 days. It can be frozen but isn’t recommended due to the cream content and will potentially split upon reheating. It can be frozen for up to 4 months if need be.
Creamy Mushroom Chicken Pasta Reheating Instructions
To reheat, either place it back into a pot or pan and gently heat it over medium heat until hot (10 minutes) or in a microwave in bursts. If you heat it in a microwave, be careful of the harsh, uneven heat as it will split the sauce, mix it around every 30 seconds to prevent this.

I was looking for ways to eat better and to have found you was a blessing. It’s an amazing dish easy to make and enjoyed by all the family at home even for the picky eaters. I saw in another comment about a cookbook being in the process and I can’t wait to be one of the first few to purchase. Thank you for making this easy to read and make.
Hey Jennifer. It’s fantastic to hear you and the family are enjoying the recipes. It means a lot to hear. I can’t give an exact date as it will be a big project, but there is a cookbook on the horizon. Thank you so much.
This dish is incredible! Definitely my favorite one pot pasta recipe so far. Thank you so much for sharing.
It’s an absolute pleasure. Great to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you.
This looks delicious! My husband is deathly allergic to mushrooms. Any suggestions for a substitute or should I just leave them out? Thanks!
Thank you, Vena. If there’s an allergy concern, I recommend leaving them out and making a creamy garlic chicken instead.
Thanks for the recipe! Made it yesterday evening for the familiy. Amazing flavors! Even though I am an extremely slow cook, still had it done within somethine like 50 min. Steps are very clear and easy to follow, especially with the pictures. And came out looking nearly exactly like yours
It’s a pleasure. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. Thank you for making the recipe and giving the time to write a comment. Much appreciated.
I’ve never been so happy to find a recipe page! This is delicious! I made it doubled because I have a very large family. I never make a recipe that I don’t have to modify extensively but this was absolutely perfect. I diced a couple Roma tomatoes because I had them on hand and that’s really the only thing I added. I can’t wait to try all of the other recipes! Thank you!
Hey Willow. I’m so glad to hear you enjoyed the recipes. It’s great to hear. Thank you!
