Instructions

Season the chicken breast and sear it over medium-high heat until well browned, about 4 minutes.

Add the porcini mushrooms, artichoke hearts and garlic, cooking until softened, about 5 minutes.

Stir in the extra virgin olive oil, pecorino romano and fresh basil for 4 minutes.

Cook the penne separately and drain.

Let the chicken simmer for about 7 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the penne, garnished with fresh herbs.
