One-Pot Creamy Mushroom & Chicken Pasta: The Ultimate Camp Stove Comfort Meal

A silky one-pot creamy mushroom and chicken pasta served in an enamel bowl at an Australian campsite at dusk.

Ingredients (Feeds 2-3)

  • Protein: 500g Chicken Thigh fillets (diced into 2cm cubes). Thigh stays tender on the high heat of a gas burner.
  • Veg: 250g Brown Mushrooms (sliced), 1 small Onion (diced), 2 cloves Garlic (minced).
  • The Carb: 250g Short Pasta (Penne or Fusilli work best—avoid spaghetti as it’s harder to submerge in a skillet).
  • Liquid: 500ml Chicken Stock (or 1 stock cube in 500ml water) and 1/2 cup Milk or Cream.
  • Pantry Essentials: 1 tbsp Olive Oil, Salt, Pepper, 1 tsp Dried Oregano or Thyme, and a handful of Parmesan cheese (optional but highly recommended).
