Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 (8 ounce) skinless, boneless chicken breasts, sliced
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 cloves garlic, smashed
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 (12 ounce) package penne pasta
1 tablespoon butter
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
6 ounces smoked ham, cubed
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
ΒΌ cup grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • Toss sliced chicken with olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in a baking dish. Add smashed garlic.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes; flip chicken over and continue to cook until no longer pink in the centers, about 8 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/4 cup pasta water.
  • Melt butter in a large pan over medium-high heat. Saute mushrooms in the butter until all water is released, 7 to 10 minutes. Add ham and minced garlic; cook and stir for 5 minutes. Whisk in cream; add reserved pasta water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached. Add chicken, pasta, and Parmesan and cook until thickened. Serve.
