Print Recipe

Ingredients

1 chicken breast, cut into 16 pieces .
1 tbsp sliced roma tomatoes .
1 tbsp parmesan cheese .
1 tbsp minced garlic .
2 1/2 tbsps crumbled gorgonzola .
1 1/2 c penne pasta, cooked al dente (enough to absorb sauce but with a little left over) .
salt & pepper .
3/4 c heavy cream .
2 tbsps olive oil .
1 tbsp sliced red onions .
1 c sliced mushrooms .
1/4 c half-and-half

Directions

Step #1 Using a medium saute pan, & a pinch of salt & pepper, onions, garlic, & tomatoes, mushrooms, add oil, & then saute until mushrooms are soft.
Step #2 Add chicken about halfway through the saute (you can also use grilled chicken & add it at the end if you want).
Step #3 Now add cream & half & half mixture with the gorgonzola cheese & Parmesan; put back on a medium flame; reduce until bubbles thicken, but don't overcook! The sauce will become clumpy on noodles once served, if overcooked.
Step #4 Taste the sauce & add salt & pepper for taste (you most likely will have to do this).
Step #5 If you precooked the noodles warm them up in a hot water bath before adding to the sauce.
Step #6 Add a little water to the sauce with the noodles because the noodles really absorb the sauce.
Step #7 Note: This recipe should make 1 serving & you usually add about a handful & a half of cooked penne to the sauce.
