Description
A comforting and easy pasta dish featuring tender chicken, fresh broccoli, and rotini pasta tossed in a rich, creamy garlic Parmesan sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- 12 oz rotini pasta
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 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 the rotini 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 brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
- Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce thickens slightly. Return cooked chicken, pasta, and broccoli to the skillet, tossing to coat evenly in the sauce.
- Season with additional salt and pepper if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
