What You’ll Need to Make This Creamy Chicken And Broccoli Pasta:

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 8 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 1 1/2 cups grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, for garnish

How To Make?

1. Cook the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package instructions. In the last 3-4 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the boiling pasta water to blanch. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Chicken: While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes. Then add the heavy cream, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
4. Combine the Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet, tossing everything together until well coated in the creamy sauce. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet and mix.
5. Serve: Serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley, and enjoy the creamy goodness! 🍝
