One Pot Chicken and Broccoli Pasta: An Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Clara Walker
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 12 ounces pasta (e.g., penne or rotini)
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 4 cups chicken broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating delicious One Pot Chicken and Broccoli Pasta is simple when you follow these steps:

1. Sauté the Chicken: In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the bite-sized chicken pieces and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until browned, about 5-7 minutes.
2. Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add minced garlic to the pot. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Combine Pasta and Broth: Add the pasta and chicken broth to the pot. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
4. Bring to a Boil: Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 10-12 minutes until the pasta is al dente.
5. Add Broccoli: After the pasta has simmered for a few minutes, add the broccoli florets on top. The steam will cook the broccoli while the pasta finishes cooking.
6. Stir in Cream and Cheese: Once the pasta and broccoli are tender, stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
7. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or cheese to reach your desired flavor.
8. Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
