Steps:
- Drizzle a little oil into a large, high-sided frying pan set over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and garlic, and fry for 5 mins, stirring often so it doesn't burn. Pour in 900ml boiling water, then add the stock cube and pasta along with some seasoning. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8 mins.
- Stir in the peas and broccoli for the last 4 mins of cooking time, and replace the lid. You might need to increase the heat slightly to get the temperature back up to a simmer. Add a splash more water if the pasta is looking dry. After 4 mins, remove the lid and reduce the heat to low, then stir in the crème fraîche. Taste for seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the lemon juice, parmesan and mint leaves. Finish with some extra parmesan, if you like.

Tips:
- Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of the ingredients and equipment you need. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling during the cooking process.
- Season Your Chicken: Season the chicken with a generous amount of salt and pepper before cooking. This will help to enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Cook the Chicken Properly: Cook the chicken until it is cooked through, but not overcooked. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use Fresh Vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your dish the best flavor and texture. If you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen or canned vegetables in a pinch.
- Don't Overcook the Vegetables: Vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and bland.
- Use a Good Quality Pasta: A good quality pasta will hold its shape and texture better than a cheap pasta. Look for a pasta that is made from durum wheat and has a low protein content.
- Cook the Pasta Al Dente: Pasta should be cooked al dente, which means it should be slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and bland.
- Make a Creamy Sauce: The creamy sauce is what really makes this dish special. Be sure to use a good quality cream and cheese. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as garlic, herbs, or spices, to taste.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.
Conclusion:
This creamy chicken with pasta and broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and nutrients, and it is sure to be a hit with the whole family. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
