My kids have a recent love for mushrooms. They are little morsels of fungi waiting to be picked by little fingers and then popped into their mouths. Who knew? They are also huge fans of pasta...seriously could eat it everyday if possible. If you follow me on Instagram you probably know that I love to eat but seldom cook. But since Hubs has started up with his monthly travels, I decided to whip up something quick and delicious during the week.
We are a chicken family. It's nutritious and delicious and Foster Farms® has now introduced their fresh Organic and Simply Raised antibiotic free lines. Foster Farms® fresh chicken is a staple in our grocery cart. Did you know that they are the West Coast's leading poultry producer: family owned and operated, established in 1939? How fantastic is the new packaging and logo?
Using boneless, skinless chicken breasts during the week for dinner is quite helpful since I have minimal time after work. Also, after having kids we tend to search out the better for you option in food choices. It is definitely true that once you become a parent, it's all for them. Ok. Maybe 95% for them and 5% still for me. However, in the case of the new Foster Farms® Simply Raised chicken, it's a win-win for all. I picked up some beautiful breast fillets at our local supermarket along with ingredients for a surprise dinner with the hopes that I would get super mom status!
Have you checked your chicken recently?
1. Preheat skillet over medium-high heat. If skillet is not nonstick, lightly coat with PAM cooking spray or 2-3 teaspoons of olive oil.
2. Grind some salt and pepper over both sides of the chicken breasts. Place chicken in skillet.
3. Reduce heat to medium and cook until the meat is no longer pink and juices are clear - about 8-12 minutes. Occasionally turn so it browns evenly. Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Add mushrooms, onions and garlic into skillet and brown for a few minutes. Stir in baby spinach until wilted.
5. Pour Alfredo sauce into the skillet and let simmer over low heat for a few minutes. Add the fettuccine and gently toss.
6. Slice or cube chicken and add to sauce. Or you can opt to just slice and place on top of the pasta when plating. Since I end up having to cut up the chicken for the kids anyway, I thought it would be simpler if I cut it while cooking.
6. Cook noodles according to the package, drain well then add to pasta.
7. Serve with a bit of chopped parsley for garnish.
This is a quick and simple recipe that your family will love and enjoy! Do you usually look at labels when buying your chicken? What do you think about the fresh Simply Raised antibiotic free lines from Foster Farms®?
I'm amazed your kids like mushrooms! This looks like a great recipe, and I have become fussy about chicken, and this is a nice brand, but I haven't seen it in my area yet.
That sounds delicious. I can't wait to make this for my family!
I only cook while hubby is home!! I'm lazy when he travels - it's like my break and the kids love "Free for all" nights. :) This looks good and I love fresh mushrooms in just about anything and everything.
Oh this sounds and looks so good I'm going to have to make it for dinner soon! I just love creamy chicken and mushrooms over pasta.
I love buying organic foods! That dish looks super yummy.
That is a great move on the part of Fosters! I had no idea they offered organic chicken. Cool! That is also one of my favorite ways to prepare pasta! Yum!!!
Wow - this just looks amazing! It's almost dinner time here and I think I will try my hand at this delicious recipe!
I love most any dish with pasta in it. This looks sooo good!!
Just gorgeous! My kids have really started to like mushrooms as well. I am definitely going to have to give this recipe a go. Love Foster Farms chicken.
My family loves chicken fettuccine, but none of us like mushrooms. I am surprised your kids like the mushrooms. Mine won't go near them.
I am going to have to try out Foster Farms chicken; we love chicken especially to grill in the summer!
My kids do NOT like mushrooms, but I'd make this recipe without them! It looks so great!
Looks delicious! We're a big fan of chicken and mushrooms, but I love how you've made it into comfort food. Must try this!
We arent really mushroom people here, but I could eat this without them!
This looks like some real comfort food! I usually don't like mushrooms, but they actually look delicious in this dish!
I love mushrooms and I add them to anything that I can. This sounds delicious and I certainly appreciate that it's a easy meal to whip up.
This sounds absolutely scrumptious! I'm definitely making this one!
This looks amazing! I pinned it and printed the recipe and I will be trying to make it tonight! I love that you made it seem super easy to cook this fresh & healthy dish! Mushrooms are such a great addition!
I used to work at Olive Garden, so this recipe looked so good, I'm goinge to make this this coming weekend. I thank you for the share.
What a yummy looking recipe! I like that it has baby spinach in this but would probably leave out the mushrooms, my family is not a big fan of them.
It looks great to me! I love mushrooms, spinach & pasta...so I would definitely go for this!
I love mushrooms so I would definitely enjoy this recipe. My husband would love the chicken and Fettuccine noodles also.
I need to find myself at your place around dinner time. Haha. This looks delicious!
Thank you for the recipe. My husband would surely love this for dinner one night.
I love mushrooms so this recipe looks SO good, I can't wait to try it! It would just be for my husband and I though, my kids won't touch mushrooms (or stinky, grey, mushy things as they call them lol)!
I could eat this right now! it looks so good and filling.
Chicken is my favorite meat to cook with, so I will have to try this soon!
This looks and sounds delicious! I will have to give it a try, simple and easy to make. Thanks for the Post, Pictures, and the Recipe!
