Ingredients:  
6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1” cubes
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter
2 cups heavy cream
Salt and freshly ground pepper
1½ lbs penne pasta
1/3-1/2 cup Dijon mustard
3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
2 Tbsp minced fresh chives
Directions:
Directions:
Seasoned chicken with salt and pepper. Melt butter in large skillet over medium high heat until bubbly. Add chicken and stir fry until just tender, about 3 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside. Add cream to the skillet, stirring to blend well. Bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until mixture is reduced and slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring large amount of water to a boil with salt. Add pasta and cook until al dente. Drain. Transfer to heated serving dish. Whisk mustard into cream mixture. Return chicken and any juices to skillet, reduce heat to low and cook until heated through, do not boil. Spoon chicken mixture over pasta. ( I toss the pasta back in with the chicken mixture, the pasta will help it to thicken as well, needing to add more heavy cream or chicken stock if needed. We usually serve right from the skillet. It does not disappoint. Serves 6-8.

I found this recipe in my Bon Appetite Poultry Cookbook years ago. Mom loved it. It has simple ingredients and so easy. The flavors are comforting. Serve along with fresh steamed broccoli. Enjoy!
