1. Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until it reaches the perfect al dente texture. Drain the pasta and set it aside, ready to be combined with the other delicious components.

2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the sliced chicken breasts with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot skillet and cook until it’s golden brown and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.

3. In the same skillet, add a little more olive oil if needed. Toss in the sliced mushrooms and sauté them for 3-4 minutes, allowing them to soften. Next, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute, until the aroma becomes irresistible. Finally, stir in the asparagus pieces and let them cook for another 3-4 minutes, just until they’re tender-crisp.

4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir the mixture together, allowing it to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken slightly. Now, it’s time to add the grated Parmesan cheese. Stir the cheese in until it melts, creating a rich and creamy sauce.

5. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, followed by the cooked penne pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in the delectable creamy sauce.

6. For the finishing touch, sprinkle some fresh parsley over the top of the Creamy Mushroom and Asparagus Chicken Penne, if desired. Serve this comforting and flavorful dish hot, and prepare to be met with rave reviews from your family and friends.
