  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 19 minute

Ingredients

– 8 ounces penne pasta
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 2 cups heavy cream
– 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Creamy Broccoli and Chicken Penne is a straightforward process. Follow these easy steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the penne according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.

3. Cook the Broccoli: In the same skillet, add broccoli florets and sauté until bright green and tender, about 3-4 minutes.

4. Prepare the Sauce: Add minced garlic to the skillet with broccoli and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.

5. Incorporate Chicken and Cheese: Stir in the cooked chicken and grated parmesan cheese. Mix well until the cheese melts, creating a creamy sauce. Add Italian seasoning and adjust seasoning as needed.

6. Combine with Pasta: Add the cooked penne to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta evenly with the creamy sauce and ingredients.

7. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.

By following these steps, you’ll create a comforting dish that’s sure to impress everyone at the table!
