    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 8 ounces penne pasta
    • 1 pound chicken breast, diced
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
    • 1 cup asparagus, chopped
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1/2 cup chicken broth
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • Salt and pepper to taste
    • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

    Instructions

    1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the penne pasta 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 and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

    5. Combine Everything: Add the cooked chicken and penne pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
    6. Serve: Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your Creamy Mushroom and Asparagus Chicken Penne! 🍽️❤️
