    Chicken for pulled chicken sandwiches.
    I used chicken tenderloins for a quick meal but you can also use chicken breasts cut into pieces.

    🥘 Ingredients

    Mushrooms: buy pre-sliced mushrooms for convenience

    Unsalted butter

    Fat-free Italian dressing

    Dry white wine: use any table wine that you would drink that is not sweet.

    Cream of mushroom soup:

    ⅓ less fat cream cheese 

    Boneless skinless chicken: use chicken tenders whole or cut into bite-sized pieces. Can use chicken breast also.

    Dried linguine: I love to use Dreamfields lower carb linguine, or you can use a whole grain pasta.

    Chives

    Black pepper

    Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente

    🔪 Instructions

    1. In a large pot of boiling water, cook linguine according to package directions until al dente.
    2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter until bubbly. Adds mushrooms and saute for 5 minutes, until mushrooms have softened, chopping them some with the spoon if there are larger pieces. 
    3. In a large bowl, using a wire whisk, mix together the Italian dressing, dry white wine, and cream of mushroom soup until well incorporated. 
    4. Add the soup mixture to the cooked mushrooms and cook over medium heat, bringing the soup mixture to a low bowl. Whisk in the softened cream cheese and until completely incorporated.
    5. Add the chicken pieces to the sauce and bring it to a boil. Immediately reduce to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
    6. Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked linguine. Sprinkle with fresh cracked black pepper and chopped chives (if using).

    🥄 Equipment

    12-inch nonstick skillet

    2-quart saucepan

    Hand whisk

    Flathead wooden spoon

    Large bowl

    🥫Storage

    Refrigerate: store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge up to 4 days.

    📖 Variations

    • Substitute any lean meat such as shrimp or scallops in place of the chicken.
    • Add ¼ - ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes for added heat.
    • A ¼ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese to the creamy sauce.
    • Garnish with fresh basil instead of chives.
    • Stir in 1-2 teaspoons cajun spice to the sauce to kick it up another notch.
    • Wine does add a unique flavor to the sauce, however, if you would rather not use wine, chicken broth can be substituted.

    💭 Tips

    • Soften the cream cheese in the microwave if you forget to take it out ahead of time. Use the soften cycle or run it on medium power for 30 seconds or longer if needed, checking every 5 seconds if you going longer.
    • Reduce cooking time and use any leftover chicken in place of the raw chicken. Add cooked chicken and simmer for 2-3 minutes, until chicken is warmed through.
