chicken breast tenderloins
cream of mushroom soup
chicken broth
water

fettuccini

Step by step

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat.
Mix together the all-purpose seasoning, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Season the chicken on all sides with the seasoning mixture.
Add the chicken tenderloins to the skillet and cook for 6 minutes or until browned on both sides. Once cooked, remove and set it aside.

Stir the soup, water, and paprika in the skillet and heat to a boil.
Add the pasta and chicken, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches 165°, the pasta is tender, and the soup mixture has thickened, stirring occasionally.
Slice the chicken before serving if desired. Enjoy!

Tips for Best Results

If you use a different type of pasta, the cooking time may need to be adjusted.
Stir occasionally while cooking to prevent sticking to the skillet and ensures it cooks evenly.
Use fresh mushrooms for the best texture and taste.

Serving suggestions

Pair this recipe with a fresh broccoli cranberry salad and some crusty garlic bread to balance the richness of the dish.

Steamed vegetables like broccoli or asparagus also make a great side, adding a healthy and colorful touch to your meal.

Storage

Any leftovers can be kept for up to three days in the refrigerator in an airtight container. To preserve the creamy quality, reheat gently at 50% power in the microwave or on the stovetop while adding a splash of water or broth.
