Ingredients
  

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tbsp flour
  • 1/3 cup marsala wine
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, shredded or grated
  • 2 cup white mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp minced or diced garlic about 4-5 cloves
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 2 tsp dried basil
  • salt & pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • vegetable oil for searing of chicken

Instructions
 

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions, and drain.
  • In a large pan or skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion and garlic. Saute for 3 minutes, or until fragrant. Add mushrooms and saute for additional 3 minutes.
  • Add butter. Once butter is melted, stir in flour. Stir until mixed and you see no lumps. Stir in basil.
  • Add chicken broth. When the broth comes to a simmer, add heavy cream, marsala wine, a few pinches of salt and pepper . Reduce heat to medium low and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ensure heat is not too high, or sauce will boil over.
  • In another skillet, heat about 2 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken in batches and cook for 5 minutes on each side.
  • Add parmesan cheese to sauce, and stir. Simmer for additional 2 minutes.
  • Stir in cooked pasta and chicken. Top with additional parmesan cheese if you like and serve!
