Description

A rich and comforting one-pan pasta dish with tender chicken, vibrant broccoli, and a creamy parmesan sauce that brings everything together beautifully.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 300 grams pasta
  • 2 cups diced chicken
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
  2. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper, then cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove and set aside.
  3. In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant.
  4. Add the broccoli florets and cook briefly until slightly tender but still vibrant.
  5. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.
  6. Add the cooked pasta and chicken back into the pan, stirring to coat everything evenly.
  7. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
  • Do not overcook the broccoli to keep it slightly crisp.
  • Add a splash of pasta water if the sauce becomes too thick.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
