Penne With Chicken, Portabella & Peppers image

This is something I came up with to have a restaurant style pasta dish at home. You can vary the sauce used, in order to change the recipe. It also works great with a red pepper sauce or an alfredo sauce. I used to use white mushrooms, but the potabellos really brought it to the next level.
