SKILLET CHICKEN WITH BROCCOLI, ZITI & ASIAGO CHEESE RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Skillet Chicken with Broccoli, Ziti & Asiago Cheese Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 pound chicken breasts, boneless, skinless, cut into 1-inch squares
Table salt and ground black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or olive oil)
1 medium onion, minced (about 1 cup)
3 medium cloves garlic , minced or pressed through a garlic press (about 1 tablespoon)
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 ounces ziti (2 1/2cups)
2 3/4 cups water, divided
1 2/3 cups low-sodium chicken broth
12 ounces broccoli florets (4 cups)
1/4 cup oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes , rinsed and chopped coarse
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 ounce grated Asiago cheese (1/2 cup), plus extra for serving
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
Note: This recipe also works well with 8 ounces of penne. Parmesan cheese can also be substituted for the Asiago.

Steps:

  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking. Add the chicken in a single layer and cook for 1 minute without stirring. Stir the chicken and continue to cook until most, but not all, of the pink color has disappeared and the chicken is lightly browned around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Transfer the chicken to a clean bowl and set aside. Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, onion, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet. Return the skillet to medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, 2 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the ziti, 2 cups of the water, and the broth. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid is very thick and syrupy and almost completely absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes. Add the broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and the remaining 3/4 cup water. Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the broccoli turns bright green and is almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and return the heat to high. Stir in the cream, Asiago, and reserved chicken with any accumulated juices and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve, passing more grated Asiago at the table, if desired.

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb boneless chicken breast, sliced into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
3 garlic cloves, minced
2 1/2 cups ziti pasta
2 cups low sodium chicken broth
1 cup milk
1 bunch broccoli, cut into pieces, stems discarded

1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (optional)

Steps:

  • Season chicken with salt and pepper.

  • Sprinkle the ziti evenly into the skillet. Pour the broth and milk over the ziti. Cover and bring to a simmer about 5-10 minutes or till al dente (original recipe advised to cook pasta for only two minutes, I found this to be not long enough).
  • Reduce heat to medium low and stir in the broccoli and roasted red peppers. Cover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the past begins to soften and the broccoli turns bright green, about 8 minutes. (If the sauce reduces too much you could add more milk and broth).

  • Stir in the remaining 1 tbs butter, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, gather and measure all the ingredients and chop any vegetables. This will make the cooking process smoother and faster.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh broccoli and baby carrots will give your dish the best flavor and texture.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Overcooked chicken is dry and chewy. Cook it just until it is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  • Use a good quality pasta: A good quality pasta will hold its shape and not become mushy when cooked.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese: Asiago cheese is a key ingredient in this dish. Use a good quality cheese that has a sharp flavor.
  • 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.
