Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 (8 ounce) packages sliced shiitake or cremini mushrooms

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons sherry vinegar

  • 2 ¼ cups unsalted chicken broth

  • 8 ounces whole-wheat penne

  • 1 cup coarsely shredded rotisserie chicken

  • ¼ cup crème fraîche or sour cream

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • Chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley for garnish

Directions

  1. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms, pepper and salt; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender and golden brown, about 8 minutes. Add vinegar; cook, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan, for about 30 seconds. Stir in broth; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add penne and chicken; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

  2. Stir in crème fraîche (or sour cream) and Parmesan. Divide the pasta evenly among 4 bowls; garnish with parsley, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
