Instructions
- Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap on a cutting board. Gently pound the chicken to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch, starting from the center and working outward. Season with salt and pepper.
- Place the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, place the chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Remove the chicken breasts from the skillet and let rest for several minutes before slicing into 1/4-inch slices.
- Place the skillet back over medium-high heat. Add an additional 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil to the skillet if needed, and sauté the mushrooms with about 1/2 teaspoon of salt until the mushrooms have browned.
- Prepare the pasta according to the package directions. Drain.
- To make the sauce, combine the half and half and Gorgonzola cheese in a saucepan over medium heat, stirring until slightly thickened. Add the sautéed mushrooms and mix well.
- To serve, divide the cooked pasta equally among 4 plates and top each with chicken slices. Drizzle with the sauce and top with chopped tomatoes and shredded Parmesan.
Notes
- If you need to reheat this dish, I recommend leaving all of this unassembled and reassemble just before serving again. If you do not combine the pasta sauce and pasta together while this is refrigerated the sauce won't soak into the pasta.
