This is one of my absolute favorite recipes!!! So yummy!
  • 3 Tbsp. butter
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped ham
  • 2 chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/2 cup white grape juice
  • 1/2 cup whipping cream
  • 1 small can sliced olives
  • 1 Tbsp. chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/2 tsp. pepper
  • 1 lb. (16oz.) penne pasta
  • 2 Tbsp. grated parmesan cheese

Heat butter and oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Saute garlic and onion in butter and olive oil mixture. Stir in ham and chicken. Cook, stirring occasionally, until chicken is brown. Stir in whipping cream, olives, parsley, and pepper. Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 30 minutes, stirring frequently, until thickened. Cook penne as directed on package. Mix penne and cream micture; top with cheese.

Just wondering, in your directions you don't mention when to add the white grape juice. Do you put it in the same time you add the whipping cream??? I actually made it last night & forgot to add the juice since it wasn't in the directions and it was still DELICIOUS!!! So I was just curious as to when you put the juice in so I can try it next time?

Sorry about that...the juice goes in right before the whipping cream. Let it simmer for 5 minutes with just the juice.
