This pasta recipe is perfect for a weeknight dinner with the family, or when you want an impressive meal to serve for company.
8 ounces (1/2 of a 16-ounce package) penne pasta, cooked and drained Season the chicken with half the salt and black pepper. Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the mushrooms and cook for 3 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally.
Deglaze the bottom with vodka. Then add tomatoes, heavy cream, and seasonings. Step 4: Bring to a gentle boil, then simmer until it has slightly thickened. Step 5: Stir cooked penne into the vodka sauce and Parmesan cheese, and continue warming. Add sliced chicken, then salt and pepper to taste. Serve and devour!
To reheat, add a splash of liquid (heavy cream, milk, broth, etc) as needed to moisten the pasta because it absorbs the vodka sauce as it cools. Chicken Penne alla Vodka is a 30 minute, restaurant quality pasta entree with lean chicken breast and penne pasta in a creamy tomato vodka sauce.
