Ingredients
1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
3 garlic cloves, grated
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound uncooked rotini or similar pasta shape
4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
2 cups broccoli florets (steamed or 12 oz steam-in-bag frozen broccoli)
Instructions
Chop the chicken into small bite-sized pieces.
Heat olive oil in a 4.5-quart deep pot over medium heat.
Add chicken, oregano, garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink.
Stir in the uncooked pasta and chicken broth.
Bring to a boil, cover, and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the pasta is al dente.
Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and steamed broccoli.
Stir everything together until the sauce becomes creamy and well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Garnish with additional parmesan cheese and fresh Italian parsley before serving.
Notes
You can substitute penne or fusilli for rotini if desired.
If using frozen broccoli, steam it first to avoid excess water in the sauce.
Add a splash of broth or cream if the pasta becomes too thick.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
