Instructions

Sprinkle chicken with half each of the salt and pepper.
In large skillet, heat half of the oil over medium-high heat; cook chicken, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to cutting board; slice thinly across the grain.
Add remaining oil to pan; reduce heat to medium. Cook mushrooms, thyme and remaining salt and pepper until mushrooms are tender and golden, about 8 minutes.
Stir in broth; bring to boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Stir in cream, parsley and mustard; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes. Discard thyme.
Meanwhile, in large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Reserving 1 cup of the cooking liquid, drain.
Return pasta to pot. Add sauce and chicken; toss, adding as much of the reserved cooking liquid as needed to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, and pepper (if using).
