Creamy Mushroom Asparagus Chicken Penne: An Amazing Ultimate Recipe

  • Total Time: 35 minutes

Ingredients

– 8 ounces penne pasta
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 1 cup asparagus, chopped
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Creating Creamy Mushroom Asparagus Chicken Penne can be a delightful experience as you follow these simple steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, cooking until browned and fully cooked through—about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Cook the Vegetables: In the same skillet, add chopped asparagus and sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Cream and Broth: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Sprinkle in the Italian seasoning and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
5. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, along with the drained penne pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well-coated in the creamy sauce.
6. Incorporate Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, mixing until melted and incorporated into the dish. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper as desired.
7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley for a pop of color. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Each step is simple and rewarding, leading you to an incredible meal that is sure to impress.
