Ingredients

• 12 oz Penne pasta
• 2 tbsp Olive oil
• 1 lb Chicken breast
• 1 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 1 medium Red onion
• 8 oz Cremini mushrooms
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 0.75 cup Madeira wine
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.5 cup Chicken broth
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. While the oil heats, season the chicken breast with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.

Step 3

Add the chicken to the skillet and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side, or until fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside to rest. Once cooled slightly, slice into thin strips.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Add the diced red onion and sliced cremini mushrooms. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms release their liquid and the onions are translucent.

Step 5

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 6

Deglaze the pan by adding the Madeira wine. Stir and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half.

Step 7

Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir to combine, then let the sauce simmer for 5 minutes to allow it to thicken.

Step 8

Stir in the Parmesan cheese, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Add the sliced chicken and cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing everything to coat evenly in the sauce.

Step 9

Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve immediately. Optionally, sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese over the top before serving.
