Ingredients
  

2 cups penne pasta

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 cup mushrooms, sliced (button or cremini)

1 cup asparagus, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Penne: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and asparagus. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they are tender and lightly browned. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Make the Sauce: Reduce the heat to low. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Gradually sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese, whisking until melted and smooth. Add lemon juice to enhance the flavor.

          Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Add the drained penne pasta and gently toss until all ingredients are well coated in the creamy sauce.

            Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your delicious Creamy Mushroom and Asparagus Chicken Penne!
