Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 chicken breasts, cut into 1 inch (2cm) pieces
salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
½ cup yellow onion, about half an onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, about 1 tablespoon, minced
2 cups chicken broth
3 cups water
16 oz pasta shells
4 cups broccoli, or one head of broccoli
½ teaspoon cayenne powder
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup milk
2 cups shredded cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Heat olive oil on medium heat in a large pot. Add chicken breasts, season with salt and pepper, and allow the chicken to brown on one side.
  • Flip chicken, then add onions and garlic as the second side browns.
  • Once the chicken has browned on both sides, add chicken broth, water, and pasta to the pot.
  • Stir all ingredients, cover the pot with a lid, and bring to a boil. When it begins to boil, uncover and stir. Bring the heat to low, stir, then cover and let simmer for 20 minutes.
  • After 20 minutes has passed, uncover and add in the broccoli. Stir continually as the broccoli steams until the rest of the liquid evaporates.
  • Add milk and cheddar cheese and stir until the cheese melts and you have a smooth cheese sauce.
  • Add salt and pepper (to taste), cayenne, and nutmeg. Stir once more, then you're ready to serve.
  • Enjoy!
