Notes

There's a significant number of steps, but with some organization should be fairly straight forward. Just try to have things ready when you find downtime. You could cook the pasta first and reserve it in the fridge until you're ready. The chicken also can be cooked a few days before you're ready, just don't take the meat out of the baggies until then. You do need the chicken searing step in oder to make a rich mushroom sauce.
