  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce.
  2. Add the cooked penne pasta and toss until everything is evenly coated.
  3. If the sauce is too thick, use the reserved pasta water, adding a little at a time until the desired consistency is reached.

6. Serve

  • Plate the pasta and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and freshly cracked black pepper, if desired.

Serving Suggestions

  • Serve with garlic bread or a side of Caesar salad for a complete meal.
  • Pair with a glass of white wine like Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc.

Storage and Reheating Tips

  • Refrigerate: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm on the stovetop over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to loosen the sauce.
  • Freeze: While creamy sauces may change texture when frozen, you can freeze this dish for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
