This delightful Pasta Da Vinci recipe captures the essence of the beloved dish from The Cheesecake Factory, featuring tender chicken, rich mushrooms, and a creamy sauce with a hint of sherry. It's a comforting and satisfying meal that combines classic Italian flavors with a touch of elegance, perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion.

Ingredients:

• 8 oz fettuccine pasta
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1/2 cup onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/4 cup dry sherry
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Cook the fettuccine pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the diced onion and sliced mushrooms. Sauté until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are tender, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
4. Pour in the dry sherry and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced. Add the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5. Stir in the cooked chicken and Parmesan cheese, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet, tossing to coat the pasta in the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat through.
7. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley.
