• 1 (14-1/2 oz) Can Low Sodium  Chicken Broth
• 1 C. Dry Vermouth

• 2 Big Handfuls Shredded Parmesan Cheese (omit for Kosher)

Directions

2. Grill or Broil Chicken Breasts until cooked through. 
   
3. While chicken breasts are cooking, drop the pasta into boiling salted water and cook according to package directions, just until al dente.
   
4. Press or mince remaining 4 cloves of garlic and saute the garlic and the mushrooms in the 3 Tbsp. of EVOO.   Season with salt and fresh ground pepper, and saute until the mushrooms give up most of their liquid.
   
5. Combine Vermouth, Chicken Broth, and Cornstarch in a small bowl or pitcher.  Stir, and add the cornstarch/broth/wine mixture to the mushrooms and bring to a gentle simmer, whisking constantly.  Simmer until sauce is slightly thickened and satiny.  Taste and adjust salt and pepper. 
   
6. Drain pasta and place onto serving platter.  Top pasta with the chicken breasts, and pour all of the garlic mushroom wine sauce over the breasts and pasta.  Sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.   Serve immediately.
