  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces diced ham
  • 3 cloves garlic minced

  • 12 ounces penne pasta
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

  1. Heat olive oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then add to pot and cook for 5-6 minutes until golden brown.
  2. Add the diced ham and minced garlic to the pot and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  3. Pour in the chicken broth, heavy cream, white wine, and Dijon mustard, stirring to combine. Add the dry pasta and bring to a boil.
