How to make One Pot Chicken Broccoli Pasta
First cut a pound of chicken breasts into bite size pieces.
Then set a large pot over medium heat and add some olive oil.
Once hot add the chicken, kosher salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and minced garlic.
Cook the chicken for 5 to 6 minutes, then remove from the pot.
Drizzle a little more olive oil and throw in the broccoli florets from two broccoli crowns along with kosher salt and pepper.
These will cook just about 4 to 5 minutes.
Put the broccoli aside with the chicken, turn the stove to high, and add 4 cups of chicken broth.
Also add 2 tablespoons butter, a pint of half and half, kosher salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and a pound of either angel hair pasta or spaghetti.
Bring this to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium low.
Cook the pasta for about 6 to 7 minutes, stirring a few times.
The pasta will slowly soak in all the broth creating a great sauce.
Taste for seasoning and add more kosher salt and pepper if needed.
Finally put the broccoli and chicken back into the pot along with parmesan cheese.
Stir it all until combined and serve right away.
One Pot Chicken Broccoli Pasta sure is one gorgeous, complete meal 🙂
You can add some parsley over top for garnish if desired, but only if you want it extra pretty.
Soooooo yummy and sure to please the whole family!
