    I usually don't call out "30-minute" recipes. Those weeknight meals so many publications and sites advertise. Most recipes take more than 30 minutes because there is prep time; chopping, assembling, and reading the recipe several times over! But, I'll call this one out. It can almost be done in the time you bring water to a boil and cook the pasta!

    As perfect as this is for a family weeknight meal, it's understood that some kids are picky. I was! No mushrooms for me! (I was well into adulthood before I'd even politely eat them when socially necessary!) So make this recipe your own. Leave something out and add something else. Zucchini would be great, asparagus, cherry tomatoes, or spinach would all be delicious.

    How to make Chicken Mushroom Pasta:

    Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted water. In the time it takes to cook and drain the pasta your toppings will almost be done.

    1. Cook pasta.
    2. Sauté mushrooms.
    3. Add cream and reduce.
    4. Stir in shredded chicken, peas and Parmesan.
    5. Season with salt and pepper and add parsley.
    6. Stir together with the pasta.

    Make this tasty pasta dish in minutes for a great weeknight meal. Packed with roasted chicken, mushrooms and sweet peas.

    Using rotisserie chicken makes this meal easy:

    Getting a few rotisserie chickens at the grocery store at the beginning of the week makes dinner really easy for several nights. This chicken mushroom chicken is one example. Here are other recipes that can use rotisserie chicken to speed preparation.

    You can also roast your own chicken, or simply use the Instant Pot or multi cooker Instant Pot or multi cooker to cook chicken breasts. Just shred them and keep the shredded chicken airtight in the fridge until ready to use.
