CHICKEN PENNE WITH MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE
In this recipe video, I make a Chicken Penne with Mushroom Cream Sauce. Now shockingly enough, I don't think a box of penne ever entered my parents house growing up. We had spaghetti noodles all time. Lasagna, sure. And maybe even the corkscrews, but penne was a just a bit too exotic. Fortunately, I've branched out over the years, and discovered the joy of these little tube shaped pastas. In this recipe, I make a cream sauce very similar to an alfredo sauce, that I flavor with deeply sauteed mushrooms that bring a early, almost meaty flavor to the dish. The chicken, combined with the cream bring more than enough substance to make this dish a real meal. For the full description and the list of ingredients, head over to the recipe page linked below, and I hope you enjoy it!

Steps:
- The other day, my wife simply said of this dish "...this one's a winner". Despite growing up in a house that (to my memory at least) never saw a box of penne pasta, I've learned to love these short little tube shapes. Like all pastas, there are a ton of different ways you can prepare penne, and in this recipe video, I make a mushroom cream sauce (similar to an alfredo sauce) to pair with the pasta and a bit of chicken. The mushrooms give the sauce a nice earthy, meaty flavor, and the cream a richness, that carries the flavors into every bite. I like to cook the mushrooms until they are well-done, crispy on the outside and tender inside, which is the only thing that takes some time; you can still be eating in about 40 minutes. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Recipe overview and Keys to Success To make the best Chicken Penne with Mushroom Cream Sauce I think you need to know just a few things: Start checking the doneness of the pasta before the time on the box suggests - and the only real way to test it, is to taste it. Overcooked pasta tastes bad...don't do it. I really like to cook the mushrooms down for a good 15 - 20 minutes over medium high heat; until the water is just about all evaporated, and the mushrooms take on a slightly chewy texture. That really concentrates the flavor, and removes any trace of "sliminess" that I have heard some complain about. Add the baby spinach at the very last minute, after you take the pasta off the heat. There's going to be plenty of residual heat left in the pan to wilt the spinach, and you don't want it over cooked. Make sure to season as you go! RECIPE FOR CHICKEN PENNE WITH MUSHROOM CREAM SAUCE Ingredients (for 2) Third pound of penne pasta 1 pint of heavy cream 1 heaping cup of sliced mushrooms 1 heaping cup baby spinach 1 chicken breast 5 tablespoons parmesan cheese Making the Chicken Penne with Mushroom Cream Sauce Sear off the chicken breast until cooked through (you can easily cook the chicken hours ahead of time, or even use leftover chicken) Dice the chicken into inch by inch pieces In the same pan you cooked the chicken in (or a fresh pan if you cooked the chicken earlier) add enough olive oil to coat the pan, and sauté the sliced mushrooms (season them when you add them) over medium heat. Cook them until they are browned and the water is evaporated out. While the mushrooms cook, bring a pot of salted water to the boil. When the mushrooms are done, turn the heat off, and add the pasta to the boiling water (stir the pasta every few minutes) When the pasta is a few minutes from being cooked, turn the heat back on the mushrooms and add half the cream; allow it to come to a simmer and start reducing Drain the pasta, and add it to the cream sauce; stir to combine Add the chicken, and a couple tablespoons of parmesan cheese Season with salt and pepper and toss to combine Take a look at the amount of sauce; now is the time you can either thin it out, by adding more cream (or even water) or, if you need to thicken it, just let it continue to cook for a few minutes; the starch in the pasta and the heat will thicken it naturally Turn off the heat, and add the spinach; again toss to combine Give your creation a taste and adjust the seasoning if you need to Serve it up piled high in a pasta bowl, garnish with a bit of parmesan cheese and enjoy!! Wine Recommendation: With the earthly mushrooms in this dish, I'm going to recommend a Pinot Noir from Oregon/Washinton. Something light bodied, with a good amount of acid to cut through the cream sauce.

CHICKEN WITH WILD MUSHROOMS
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
- Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Place 1/2 cup flour in a bowl and dredge the chicken in the flour. In a large (12-inch) ovenproof pot such as Le Creuset, heat the oil. Add the chicken in three batches (don't crowd them!) and brown lightly over medium-high heat for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken to a plate and continue until all the chicken is browned.
- Add the whole garlic cloves, mushrooms, and thyme to the pot and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the sherry and cook for 1 minute, scraping up the brown bits. Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 more minutes. Add the wine, chicken stock, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper and bring to a simmer. Add the chicken (large pieces first), cover, and place in the middle of the oven for 30 to 35 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through (about 165 degrees on an instant-read thermometer).
- Remove the chicken to a bowl and discard the thyme. With a fork, mash together the butter and 1/4 cup flour and add it to the sauce. Simmer, stirring constantly, over medium heat for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened. Season to taste (it should be highly seasoned), put the chicken back in the sauce, and serve hot.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around for things while you're cooking.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh ingredients will always yield the best results. If you can, try to use organic, locally-sourced ingredients whenever possible.
- Don't Overcook the Chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important to not overcook it. Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Use a Variety of Mushrooms: Using a variety of mushrooms will give your dish a more complex flavor. Some good options include cremini mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, and oyster mushrooms.
- Sauté the Mushrooms Properly: To get the best flavor out of the mushrooms, sauté them in a hot pan with a little bit of butter or oil. Cook the mushrooms until they are browned and tender.
- Use a Good Quality Pasta: The type of pasta you use can make a big difference in the final dish. Use a good quality pasta that will hold its shape when cooked.
- Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Al dente pasta is pasta that is cooked until it is still slightly firm to the bite. This will help the pasta hold its shape and prevent it from becoming mushy.
- Use a Creamy Sauce: A creamy sauce is a great way to add richness and flavor to the dish. You can use a simple béchamel sauce, or you can add some cheese or other ingredients to create a more complex sauce.
- Garnish with Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs can add a pop of color and flavor to the dish. Some good options include parsley, basil, and thyme.
Conclusion:
This wild mushroom and chicken penne is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, sautéed mushrooms, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make a restaurant-quality dish at home.
