Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli


This is another meal in a pan. If you’ve longed for the days of Hamburger Helper, now is the time to cheer. This recipe is just as easy and a boxed meal never tasted this good or had this kind of nutrition.

ingredients
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 pound (225 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut in 1/2-inch strips
  • 1 1/2 cups (107 g) broccoli florets
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) white wine
  • 3/4 cup (175 ml) low sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 pound (225 g) whole wheat bow tie pasta, cooked
  • Parmesan cheese (optional)
preparation
  •  In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for about one minute, stirring constantly. Add the chicken and cook until well done. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender. Add basil, black pepper to taste; wine, and chicken broth. Cook for about 5 minutes. Add the cooked and drained pasta to the skillet and toss to combine. Heat for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve. Top with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
