Green Pasta with Chicken

Step 1

Cook the 8 oz pasta in salted boiling water until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Add the 3 cups broccoli florets during the last 3 minutes, then drain and set aside.

Step 2

While pasta cooks, season the 1 lb chicken breast with salt and pepper. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high and cook chicken until golden and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove and slice.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower heat to medium and add 2 minced garlic cloves. Cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream and 0.5 cup parmesan, stirring until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Add the drained pasta and broccoli to the skillet, toss to coat in the sauce. Add the sliced chicken and stir gently until everything is combined and heated through, about 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately.
