Instructions
Creating One Pot Chicken and Broccoli Pasta is straightforward, and you can follow these simple steps:
1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large pot over medium heat, add the olive oil.
2. Cook Chicken: Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until golden brown, about 5-6 minutes.
3. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and Italian seasoning, cooking for an additional minute until fragrant.
4. Add Broccoli and Pasta: Add the pasta and broccoli florets to the pot.
5. Add Liquid: Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
