ingredients

• 680.38 g boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite-size pieces
• 29.58 ml olive oil
• 1 onion, halved lengthwise and sliced thin crosswise

• 226.79 g cream cheese
• 22.18 ml spicy brown mustard
• 2-3 garlic cloves, very finely minced
• 3.69 ml dried thyme
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 14.79 ml fresh parsley, minced

• Accompaniment

• rice or mashed potatoes

directions

1. I find it easier to cut my chicken into small pieces if it is only partially-thawed (if frozen), or I put it in the freezer for about an hour to firm it up, then cut.
2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tblsp of oil over high heat until hot but not smoking; brown chicken and transfer to a bowl.
3. Heat remaining tblsp of oil until hot but not smoking and saute onions and mushrooms, stirring, for 2-3 minutes, or until golden.
4. Add Sherry and deglaze skillet, stirring and scraping up brown bits.
5. Stir in broth, cream cheese, garlic, mustard and thyme. Season with salt and pepper to suit your taste. Boil gently for 3 minutes, whisking to incorporate cream cheese and mustard into sauce. Add chicken and any juices that have collected in bowl and cook 8-10 minutes longer. Taste and adjust seasoning.
6. Arrange noodles or rice or mashed potatoes on a platter, spoon chicken and sauce over and sprinkle with parsley.
7. Bon appetit!

Delicious creamy chicken pasta dish! Loved how the flavors mingled. We also doubled the sauce which we sopped up with freshly made ABM bread. Thanks for creating this dish and good luck!

This was very good. I doubled the sauce as we love our sauce. It was a very creamy flavorful dish. The only deviation was that I used sweet sherry. Good luck in the contest!

I loved the chicken and sauce over egg noodles. It tasted so rich, the flavors blended well, and it makes a good use of the lowly chicken thigh :-)

Turned out that I only had bone-in thighs but it all worked out. I omitted mushrooms because I don't care for them but otherwise followed directions as written. This was yummy! Thank you & good luck in the contest!

This was very good. It made a quick and enjoyable meal. I do believe that I would have enjoyed this more with white meat chicken. I did change up the cooking process a little; i.e., cooking the onions and garlic until done and then stirring in the mushrooms and chicken. It was served over medium shell pasta and served with an asparagus salad. Good luck in RSC.
