Yield 1 bowl, 3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper, dash
3 tablespoons butter
1 minced onion
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces penne
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 lbs broccoli florets, cut into one inch pieces
1 red pepper, sliced into 1/4 inch thick pieces
1/2 cup parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Pat the chicken dry, then season with salt and pepper. Melt 1 tablespook of the butter in a 12 inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it is lightly browned but not fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium. Add 1 more tablespoon of the butter, onion, red peppers, red pepper flakes, oregano and the 1/2 tsp salt to the skillet. Cook until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
  • Sprinkle the penne (uncooked) evenly into the skillet. Pour the broth and cream over the ziti. Cover and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the broccoli. Cover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta begins to soften and the broccoli turns bright green, about 8 minutes.
  • Stir in the chicken and any accumulated juices. Cover and continue to simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
  • Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp butter and the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

This dish was a disappointment. The sauce was too thin and the chicken was dry.

I loved the creamy sauce and tender chicken. The broccoli was a nice addition, but I think it would have been even better with some other vegetables, like zucchini or mushrooms.

The chicken was a little dry, but the sauce and broccoli were delicious. I'll try using boneless, skinless chicken breasts next time.

The sauce was a little bland for my taste, but the chicken and broccoli were cooked well. I added some extra garlic and Italian seasoning to the sauce, and it was much better.

This dish was delicious and easy to make. I used whole wheat penne and added some extra vegetables, like red bell pepper and zucchini. It was a great way to get my kids to eat their veggies.
