Chicken Pasta with Artichokes

A few days ago, I was going through some cookbooks that I haven't opened in awhile, looking for something quick to prepare and something I would really like.  This one is a winner!

2 cups penne pasta

1 6 oz. jar marinated artichokes, coarsely chopped - reserve marinade

3 chicken breasts, chopped into bite size pieces

3 cups sliced mushrooms

3/4 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup white wine

1 tablespoon cornstarch

salt and pepper

Cook pasta for 11 minutes.  Pour artichoke marinade into a hot skillet.  Add chicken and mushrooms.  Cook and toss for about 6 minutes.  Stir in artichokes.

Meanwhile, combine chicken broth, wine and cornstarch in a bowl.  Pour into the skillet slowly, stirring constantly until sauce comes to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes.

Remove from heat and combine with the pasta.  Serve immediately.
