One Pot Chicken And Broccoli Pasta
This one-pot chicken and broccoli pasta is a delicious weeknight dinner! The pasta, chicken, and broccoli cook in the pot with the sauce, so it's easy to make and clean up.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 chicken breasts (cut into bite-size pieces)
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves)
- 2 cups chicken broth
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 3 cups uncooked fusilli pasta
- 2-3 cups broccoli florets (cut into small pieces)
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- lemon slices (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and saute for 3-4 minutes until cooked through. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds.
- Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and pasta.
- Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to medium heat and let it bubble for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick. Add the broccoli and cook for 4-5 minutes partially covered.
- If there is still a lot of liquid left, increase the heat and let it bubble uncovered until it thickens.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the parmesan cheese. Feel free to squeeze on some lemon juice for extra acidity. Serve immediately!
