Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 tablespoons vegetable oil or 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
4 boneless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch squares
table salt & fresh ground pepper
1 medium minced onions or 1 cup minced onion
3 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
8 ounces ziti pasta or 2 1/2 cups ziti pasta
2 3/4 cups water, divided
1 2/3 cups low sodium chicken broth
12 ounces broccoli florets or 4 cups broccoli florets
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 ounce asiago cheese, grated, plus extra
asiago cheese, grated, for serving or 1/2 cup asiago cheese
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high heat until just smoking.
  • Add the chicken pieces 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 minced garlic, oregano, and red 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 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 cheese, 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.
  • Turn off the heat, stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Serve.

The sauce was a bit too thick for my liking. I would add a little more milk next time.

I found the chicken to be a bit dry. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would add some more spices next time.

This dish is perfect for a cold winter night. The creamy Asiago cheese sauce is comforting and the chicken and broccoli add a touch of heartiness.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed it in this dish. The Asiago cheese sauce helped to mask the bitterness of the broccoli.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. The chicken was tender and juicy, the broccoli was crisp-tender, and the ziti was cooked al dente. The Asiago cheese sauce was creamy and flavorful.

This chicken broccoli ziti was a hit with my family! The Asiago cheese added a delicious nutty flavor.
