Description
A comforting one-pan pasta dish with tender chicken, fresh broccoli, and a rich, cheesy Parmesan cream sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 8 oz pasta (such as penne or fettuccine)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, adding broccoli florets during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning, then cook until golden and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and pour in heavy cream. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, then stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
- Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet, tossing to coat in the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes until heated through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve immediately.
