Equipment

  • Large Skillet This large Anolon 12" Skillet is ideal for making one-pan meals!
  • Cutting Boards This 3-Pack of non-slip cutting boards are a fantastic tool for every home cook.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (16 oz. box) penne rigate pasta cooked to al dente
  • 1 1/2 lbs. chicken thighs boneless, skinless, cut into pieces
  • 8 oz. mushrooms sliced, baby bella or white
  • 4 Tablespoons olive oil divided

Seasoning for Chicken:

For creamy sour cream sauce:

Instructions
 

  • In a large stock pot or Dutch oven, begin heating water to cook the pasta. When a rolling boil is reached, pour the pasta into the water and cook penne to al dente, about 10-11 minutes, or per the cook time listed on the package.
  • While the water and pasta cook, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken thigh pieces, and cook for 5-6 minutes per side until completely cooked through. Remove from skillet and transfer to a bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, over medium-high heat, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook approximately 4-5 minutes or until tender and browned. Transfer the mushrooms to the bowl with the chicken and cover to keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, add the butter, and melt over medium heat. Add the flour, and whisk to combine. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and continue whisking until the broth comes to a simmer and thickens. Add the sour cream and Worcestershire sauce and whisk to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes until thick and creamy.
  • Add the sauteed chicken and mushrooms to the sauce and stir together to combine into the sauce. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce and stir to combine. Serve right away.
