Creamy Mushroom Recipes With Chicken Thighs

We prefer to use skinless chicken in this recipe because the sauce is already quite creamy and rich.

Crispy Chicken Thighs In A Creamy Mushroom Sauce

Recipe Summary Chef John's Chicken Riggies

This results in a sauce that seems much richer than it actually is, and I think you'll love the subtle sweetness the wine imparts, which works wonderfully with the heat from the peppers.

Ingredients | Creamy Mushroom Recipes With Chicken Thighs

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 ounces hot Italian ground sausage meat
  • 1 cup sliced mushrooms
  • 1 onion, sliced
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, roughly chopped
  • ½ cup Marsala wine
  • 1 (28 ounce) can whole Italian plum tomatoes (such as San Marzano), crushed
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup water, or as needed
  • 1 ½ cups chopped hot and sweet peppers
  • ½ cup pitted and chopped kalamata olives
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup chopped Italian flat leaf parsley
  • 1 pound rigatoni
  • ½ cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano or Romano cheese

    • Directions

  • Heat olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir sausage, mushrooms, onions, salt, and black pepper in hot oil until vegetables are softened and sausage is browned, 6 to 7 minutes.
  • Stir chopped chicken to sausage mixture; cook and stir over medium-high heat until browned, about 5 minutes. Pour in wine and cook, stirring to remove any browned bits off the bottom of the pan, until most of the wine is evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes. Add tomatoes, chicken broth, and cream; simmer for 30 minutes. If needed, add water to create a thick sauce.
  • Stir peppers, olives, and garlic into sauce. Continue to simmer until thickened, 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and stir in parsley.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook rigatoni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until nearly cooked, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine sauce and cooked pasta, stir in cheese, cover and set aside until pasta has absorbed the sauce, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Any jarred or fresh peppers will work, but cherry peppers are a good choice.
