Ingredients

– 8 ounces penne pasta
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– 1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Optional: Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish


Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create an incredible plate of Creamy Mushroom Asparagus Chicken Penne:

1. Boil the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the garlic, mushrooms, and asparagus. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
4. Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir well, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3-4 minutes to thicken slightly.
5. Combine Chicken and Pasta: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the drained penne pasta and half of the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir until everything is well combined and heated through.
6. Season: Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
7. Serve: Transfer the creamy penne to serving plates and sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
