  • Salt and pepper both sides of the chicken breasts.
  • Turn the heat up to medium-high, and sear the chicken breasts on both sides in the same pan that the mushrooms were in. Cook until so that a good crust forms. Remove the chicken from the pan, and cover to keep warm.
  • Turn the heat down to low and add all of the wine. Allow the wine to cook just a bit and make sure you scrape any food stuck to the pan.
  • Dice the cream cheese and place in a large bowl. Discard the thyme sprigs from the pan, and then pour the hot wine over the cream cheese and stir until it melts.
  • When the pasta is done, drain it, and immediately pour it over the wine-cream cheese mixture. Toss the noodles to melt and evenly distribute the cream cheese sauce.Stir the mushrooms into the pasta bowl.
  • Slice the chicken and garnish on top. Serve warm.
