Instructions

Season the chicken breast and grill it over medium-high heat until well browned, about 9 minutes.

Add the porcini mushrooms, basil and zucchini, cooking until softened, about 6 minutes.

Stir in the oregano, chili flakes, pecorino romano and extra virgin olive oil for 2 minutes.

Cook the penne separately and drain.

Let the chicken simmer for about 15 minutes so the flavors meld.

Taste and adjust the seasoning.

Serve hot over the penne, garnished with fresh herbs.
