Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.

Boil the penne pasta in a large pot of salted water for 5 minutes, then drain.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Set aside.

In the same skillet, add mushrooms and onions, sautéing for about 3 minutes or until softened. Set aside.

In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the milk, stirring continuously until the mixture is thickened. Remove from heat and stir in 1 cup of grated cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.

In the 8-inch square baking dish, combine the cooked pasta, cooked chicken, sautéed mushrooms and onions, and cheese sauce, stirring until well mixed.

Stir in the sour cream.

Top the pasta mixture with the remaining 1/2 cup of grated cheddar cheese.

Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Let the dish cool for 5 minutes before serving.
