Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

    Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Chicken

    While the pasta is cooking, season the chicken breast with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sauté for about 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through and golden brown. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Onions and Mushrooms

    In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil. Add the balsamic onions and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become soft. Then, add the cremini mushrooms and continue to cook for another 5-6 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

  4. 4

    Add Flavors

    Stir in the chopped rosemary, lemon juice, and capers. Cook for 2 more minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked penne pasta to the skillet, tossing everything together to ensure the pasta is well coated with the sauce. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper, if needed.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Slice the chicken breast and arrange it over the pasta. Garnish with chopped Italian parsley and serve immediately.
