This creamy chicken sundried tomato and mushroom pasta is relatively quick and easy to make. Impress the family with this upscale yet rustic pasta dish during the week or as a dinner party main for guests on the weekend.
Perfectly cooked al dente penne coated with a rustic mushroom and sundried tomato-infused cream sauce makes for an explosion of flavours in your mouth! The combination of salty-sweet sundried tomatoes, earthy mushrooms, and moist chicken in a mild, light cream sauce is bound to please any crowd.
My kids can be quite finicky when it comes to proteins-one day they’ll devour them, and the next day they won’t give them a second glance. Having said that, whenever I throw some pasta in the mix I know the recipe will be a winner!
Case in point, this creamy chicken sundried tomato and mushroom pasta! The kids gobbled this up and my husband too! With hearty chunks of chicken and mushrooms, a little portion of this pasta goes a long way, meaning more leftovers than anticipated!
I love mushrooms and chicken! This dish looks and sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing.
They make a great a combo, don’t they!?
Pasta is a weakness of mine. I love it. This looks so delicious. Will definitely pin and share.
Thanks Tami!!!
I love pasta and I can live eating pasta alone! This looks fantastic and I’m sure it tastes the same.
You sound like my husband, lol!
It’s definitely a yummy recipe. I actually did something really similar, but I also added bacon into it. Works really well. 🙂
Bacon and chicken? Interesting! Come to think of it…pancetta would be good in here too!
Mmm, this looks soo yummy! Another awesome pasta dish to add to my recipe book. Thanks for sharing.
This dish looks really good. The kids and I love pasta and I am always looking for new recipes to try. This is on my list as we love chicken as well.
Thank you! I eat mostly a plant-based diet so I would take the chicken out. It would taste great with only veggies too!
This pasta dish looks absolutely scrumptious! I don’t think there is anything in it I don’t like!
I wish my husband and kiddo loved mushrooms as much as I do. Sadly, they cant stand them. When I am in the mood for mushrooms I have to make my dish separate. So sad. They dont know what they are missing out on.
Maybe you could cut larger pieces of mushrooms and then just pick them out, lol!
This looks amazing. I love mushroom and pasta. I have never considered adding sundried tomatoes
A delicious way to use mushrooms! I’m in love with mushrooms and always trying to get the kids to try it more.
Thank you! Me too, I love all kinds of mushrooms, especially portobello!
I love penne pasta and chicken together! It’s like the perfect combination of foods! And the mushrooms would just be wonderful! Thanks for sharing!
I actually rarely add proteins to pasta…my husband is very traditional, lol! My usual repertoire is tomato sauce, pesto, garlic and olive oil, and carbonara!
This looks soooo yummy!!! I have been craving pasta and I think I have all of the stuff to make this 🙂
If I can get past the mushrooms, I would devour this. I think I may try it with tomatoes in place of the mushrooms. It looks so good. Chicken and pasta are 2 of my favs!
Tomatoes sounds good, you could also substitute with asparagus!
I am a huge fan of chicken and pasta like this. I would love to make something like this and even take leftovers for lunch the next day.
This looks so delicious. I love pasta, I really need to try and get more creative and try things like this instead of my usual tomato and garlic sauce.
Come to think of it, I hardly ever just make pasta with tomato sauce, lol! I just end up using up whatever is in the fridge…it’s fun to improvise!
Like Liz said in her comment, I love sun dried tomatoes too. I also love a good pasta dish and this looks tops!
Thanks Rosey!
This looks so good to me, especially since I love sun dried tomatoes. I can’t wait to try this out!
YUM! I love sun dried tomatoes, mushrooms and any creamy sauce. This is going on my menu plan for the week!
This pasta looks so delicious as comfort food! I like the combination of salty and and a bit sweet flavor. I can think of putting truffle into the dish.
Truffle does sound like it would be a great addition to this dish…although, I don’t like it! lol!
Now I know this would be good! Thanks for the idea – my neighbour JUST had her baby yesterday and I’m thinking up ideas on what to make her for when she comes home.
That’s so nice of you!! It’s always nice to have food prepared for you…I hope you find some other recipes on the Blog that you’ll try!
That looks really, really good! I am not a huge mushroom fan BUT this looks super tasty. My hubby loves mushrooms I bet he would love this!
You can just pick them out! Or, you could omit them altogether or swap them for asparagus!
I absolutely love mushrooms in pasta. It is perfect for summertime!
This pasta looks yummy and has my fave ingredient – mushrooms! I would try this recipe and probably swap out the chicken with shrimp! 🙂
There are a ton of people on this thread who love mushrooms! I need to post more mushroom recipes, lol!
This looks absolutely delicious! I would love to make this sometime during the week. Looks easy to make too! 😀
My daughter would love this, she loves mushrooms and pasta! I will try your recipe next time, thanks!
This looks so delicious and simple to make. I will have to try this recipe this weekend. I am sure my family will love it.
I’d like to think that it’s a foolproof recipe!
What a yummy looking dish. I love a good pasta, especially with mushrooms. It goes so well together.
Okay this has me wishing that I could pull it off of the screen and eat it right now. Looks very delicious! & wow! It is a lot easier to make than you’d think. Usually dishes that look this good are complicated. This is definitely something that I would try. Great pictures!
I’d like to think that the instructions make it obvious that this is, in fact, very easy to make!
WOW. I can’t even explain how much I want this right now! Those portobello mushrooms look soooo good! I really can’t wait to try this! Yum!
So nice to hear!
This is deliciousness! it has everything I love: chicken, portobello mushroom, pasta, sundried tomatoes. Can I substitute cream with milk or chicken stock, Lisa?
Of course! You can omit the cream altogether or make a roux. If you use chicken stock I would add less so the sauce doesn’t get too watery.
Yum! Anything with mushrooms is a hit in our house. I absolutely love all your recipes and cannot wait to try this new one 🙂
We are on a mushroom kick lately! lol! Thanks so much, I’d love to know which ones you’ve tried!
Oh my word, that looks so amazing. Thanks so much for sharing, I would LOVE to fix this for the family. I’m sure we’d all love it.
Thank you!! It’s pretty easy to make, considering all the ingredients!
No one in our house likes mushrooms, but I think this dish would be awesome even without them. Yum!
Most definitely! My other option would be to add some fresh, seasonal asparagus!
