Heart Attack in a Pan

This has been a favorite for many many years in our house. Thanks to my friend Steph for introducing it to us and for all the years we've tweaked it until we love it even more!


Heart Attack in a Pan
An approximation recipe

About 8-12 oz angel hair pasta
Cook according to pkg directions and put in a 9x13 pan

About 2 or three chicken breasts cut into small pieces
About 6-8 oz mushrooms chopped
About 6 oz butter
Pepper, garlic salt, poultry seasoning (or sage and/or thyme)
Sauté chicken and mushrooms in butter, season according to taste- don't be afraid to season generously. Pour over noodles, don't drain butter.

2 T butter
2 T flour
1 can of chicken broth or 2 c chicken broth from bullion

melt butter, add flour to make a paste, add broth, bring to boil for about 2 minutes to let it thicken (roux or white sauce)stirring almost constantly. Season with garlic salt, pepper, poultry seasoning, sage. I usually make this in the same pan as I sautéed the chicken and mushrooms and that picks up the flavor so I don't add too much in the way of additional seasoning. Pour this over the noodles and chicken/mushroom.
Now pour about a pint of whipping cream over the whole thing and top with lots of shredded cheese- I use Monterey Jack ¾ -1lb

Cover with foil and bake at 350*for 15 min. Remove foil and bake another 10-15 minutes until cheese is golden brown. Let stand 10 minutes before serving

Happy cooking!
