Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 11 ounces chicken breast diced finely
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 7 ounces mushrooms canned or fresh, diced
  • 3.5 ounces green beans canned, frozen or fresh, diced into 1-2 inch pieces
  • 3.5 ounces corn kernels canned, frozen or fresh
  • 3.5 ounces peas canned, frozen or fresh
  • 11 ounces chicken broth
  • 11 ounces heavy cream
  • 2 ounces yellow cheese edam or gauda, diced
  • 1 box of penne pasta about 3.5oz/100g per person

Instructions
 

  • In a deep pan, heat butter on low for 1 minute. Add chicken and seasonings, then raise temperature to medium high. Season to taste and simmer with frequent stirring for 6-7 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms and simmer with frequent stirring for 2 minutes.
  • Add green beans, corn and peas and continue stirring and simmering for 5 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth and cover. Simmer for 15 minutes. As the vegetables are cooking, make pasta based on box directions, save 1 cup of pasta water.
  • Add heavy cream, cheese, and pasta water to the sauce. Stir and simmer until cheese melts or about 2 minutes. Remove off heat and serve over pasta. (Alternatively, add the pasta directly into the pot, mix, then serve.)
  • Keep in fridge for up to 1 days. Before serving add a cup of milk, broth, or water to the sauce, and heat using your preferred method.
