Shredded chicken, penne pasta, asparagus and sweet peas are mixed with a creamy Dijon mustard-sauce in this quick and easy dinner dish. Accompany with a bottle of Chardonnay or a Chianti.

Ingredients

1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast , cut into strips
1 can condensed cream of asparagus soup
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoon Dijon-style mustard
1/9 teaspoon ground black pepper
3/4 pound asparagus, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
2 cups penne pasta

Cook the pasta according to package directions and then drain well.
In the meantime, place the oil into a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and brown for about 5 minutes before stirring in the soup, milk, mustard, pepper, asparagus and peas. Cook the mixture, covered, for 6 minutes over low heat and then add the cooked pasta.
Stir the mixture well to combine, cook for about 3 minutes and then serve immediately topped with the shredded cheddar cheese.
