Equipment
- 1 Large skillet
- 1 boil
Ingredients
- 1 pound penne pasta
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cubed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large red onion diced
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms preferably shiitake, sliced
- 2 cups dry white wine
- 1 cup Madeira wine
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sour cream room temperature
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Following the package instructions, boil the penne pasta in salted water until it reaches al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set aside.
- Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes. Season the chicken with kosher salt and black pepper, as desired. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until browned on all sides and no longer pink inside. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the diced red onion in the same skillet and cook it until it softens. Then, add the minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Next, add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they release their moisture and become tender.
- Carefully pour the dry white wine and Madeira wine into the skillet, stirring well to deglaze the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook for 5-7 minutes, allowing the alcoholic content to evaporate and the sauce to reduce slightly. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Allow the sauce to simmer and continue to thicken, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes
- Return the cooked chicken cubes to the skillet with the sauce and stir gently to combine. Add the cooked penne pasta, tossing it in the sauce mixture until it is well-coated. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper, if needed.
- Dish out the flavorful Pasta Da Vinci onto plates or in bowls and top each serving with a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese. Savor your delicious restaurant-quality meal, created from a Cheesecake Factory copycat recipe, in the comfort of your own home!
