Ingredients

Method

1
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add the cubed chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on all sides, approximately 5-7 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set aside.
2
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add the minced onions and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the mushrooms release their moisture and the onions become translucent.
3
Sprinkle flour over the mushroom and onion mixture, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes to form a roux and cook out the raw flour taste.
4
Gradually pour in the chicken broth while stirring to prevent lumps from forming. Add the chicken bouillon and stir until dissolved.
5
Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 8-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

6
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the whipping cream and fresh minced basil until fully combined. Season with pepper and adjust for salt and additional basil to taste.
7
Divide the hot cooked fettuccine among four serving plates and ladle the basil cream chicken sauce generously over the pasta. Serve immediately while hot.
