Ingredients
- 2 Boneless Skinless Chicken Thighs 200g total
- 2 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 2 Garlic Cloves
- 1 Small-Medium Shallot 35g
- 125 g Baby Mushrooms 1 Cup
- 75 ml Worcestershire Sauce ⅓ Cup
- 75 g Creme Fraiche ¼ Cup + 1 tablespoon
- 175 g Dried Tagliatelle 6oz
- Salt for Boiling Pasta plus a pinch to season the chicken.
- 20 g Chives ¼ Cup
Instructions
- Peel the shallot and dice it as finely as you can.
- Peel the garlic cloves and dice them as finely as you can.
- Cut the baby mushrooms into 2-3mm (⅛") thick slices.
- Chop the chives as finely as you can.
- Bring a 20cm or 8" saucepan of well-salted water to a rolling boil (1½-2 teaspoons of salt).
- Heat a 30cm or 12" frying pan (not nonstick if possible) over a high heat, and when it is hot, add the olive oil.Season the chicken thighs with a pinch of salt and then cook them for 3-4 minutes on each side in the olive oil. Remove and set aside.
- When you remove the chicken from the frying pan, add the pasta to the boiling water (this dish should now take 7-8 minutes to cook).
- Reduce the heat under the frying pan to medium and add the shallots, and cook for 60 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Add the mushrooms and cook for 2 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Throw in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the Worcestershire sauce and reduce by half.
- Whilst the Worcestershire sauce is reducing, slice the chicken thighs as thinly as you can, then add them to the mushroom mix and stir to combine.
- Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the creme fraiche.
- The pasta should now be cooked, so drain it and reserve 75-125ml (⅓-½ Cup) and add the pasta to the sauce.
- Stir in as much pasta water as is required to form a sauce, and finally stir through the chives.
