Chicken and Broccoli Pasta

This is an easy and tasty dinner that requires no side dishes! It's great for a light summer meal or even perfect for a quick dinner!!

1-2 heads of fresh broccoli steamed in chicken broth

1 lb pasta- I used what I had leftover and I cooked it in a mixture of chicken broth and water.

2-3 chicken breasts- I used leftover chicken from earlier in the week. It was already cooked so all I had to was cube it and toss it in the sauce to heat up.
You can use raw chicken, too. I would season it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and any other seasoning you like. During the summer I would grill the chicken until cooked through or you cansautee or bake it until done.



Minced Garlic- Fresh or jarred

Chicken broth- for the sauce, at least 1-2 cups

1 small to medium onion- chopped small

Grated Cheese- 1/4 cup for the sauce and more for garnish

White wine- 1/4 cup

1-2 tbsp. olive oil

Cooking spray

1 tbsp butter

Splash of Worcestershire Sauce



Boil pasta water and add pasta and cook to al dente.

In a sautee pan or frying pan heat 1-2 tbsp olive oil and cooking spray. Make sure bottom of pan is coated.

Once pan is hot add garlic and onion, allow to sweat and sautee for a few minutes. You want the onions to soften and become somewhat translucent. Do not allow the garlic to burn.

When onions are done add in the Broccoli and coat with onions and olive oil and garlic. Add cooked chicken.

At this point you want to add your white wine. Make sure the pan is screaming hot. Add wine and scrape bottom of the pan picking up all of the tasty bits on the bottom. Mix all together and let cook for 2 minutes.

Add in 1-2 cups of chicken broth. You can add more if you want a more broth like sauce. At this point I also take out about half of the pasta, along with some pasta water and add to the sauce pan. The pasta will cook the rest of the way in the sauce and the pasta water helps thicken the sauce slightly and adds more flavor.

Add in butter and Worcestershire sauce. If you want it more "saucey" add remaining chicken broth. Add in cheese and mix everything together.

Allow sauce to simmer until pasta is done or for a few minutes. Once remaining pasta is finished add to sauce and stir to coat everything.

Serve with grated cheese and enjoy!!
