Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced 🍗
8 oz penne pasta 🍝
1 tbsp olive oil 🫒
1 cup mushrooms, sliced 🍄
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces 🥦

Directions:
1. Start by cooking the penne pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain it and set it aside.
2. In a large pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken slices with salt and pepper, then cook them until they’re golden and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside.
3. In the same pan, throw in the sliced mushrooms, asparagus pieces, and minced garlic. Sauté these delicious veggies for about 5-7 minutes until they’re tender.
4. Now, add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and grated Parmesan cheese to the pan. Stir everything together and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes.
5. Return the cooked chicken and penne pasta to the pan, tossing gently to coat everything in that creamy sauce. Let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
6. If you like, garnish your dish with fresh parsley before serving.
