Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 tablespoons butter (divided)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound boneless (skinless chicken breasts, cut into ½-inch strips)
½ teaspoon kosher salt (divided)
1/4 teaspoon black pepper (divided)
1 small yellow onion (chopped)
3 cloves garlic (minced (about 1 tablespoon))
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional; or reduce to 1/8 teaspoon if sensitive to spice)
1 14-ounce can low-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups nonfat milk (plus additional as needed)
6 ounces dry whole wheat ziti pasta or similar pasta (such as penne, rigatoni, or fusilli (about 2 1/4 cups))
1 medium head broccoli (cut into florets (about 3 cups))
1 14 ounce can artichoke hearts in water (drained, cut into quarters, and patted dry)
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (for even more lemon flavor, add the zest also)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (plus additional for serving)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (plus additional for serving)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium high. Once the butter is melted, add the chicken and sprinkle with ¼ teaspoon salt and black pepper. Saute until the chicken is golden on the outside and completely cooked through, about 5 minutes. With a large spoon, remove the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm. Set aside.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and the onion. Cook until the onion begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Do not let the onion brown (adjust the heat as needed if it starts to brown). Add the garlic, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt. Stir and cook just until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Slowly stir in the broth and milk. Bring to a boil, then add the ziti. Let the ziti boil for 5 minutes, then stir in the broccoli florets. Continue boiling until the ziti is al dente, about 5 to 7 minutes more. Stir often to make sure the ziti cooks evenly. If at any point the pasta looks too dry, splash in additional milk as needed.
  • Stir in the artichoke hearts, lemon juice, Parmesan, parsley, and reserved chicken. Taste and adjust seasoning as you like. Enjoy hot, with a sprinkle of extra Parmesan and parsley as desired.

CREAMY ONE-PAN CHICKEN & BROCCOLI PASTA



Creamy one-pan chicken & broccoli pasta image

Who doesn't love a creamy chicken pasta? If you don't have broccoli, there are so many alternatives - green beans, halved brussels sprouts or leafy greens

Provided by Good Food team

Categories     Dinner

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tbsp olive oil, for frying
200g cooked chicken, torn into pieces
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 chicken stock cube
160g dried short pasta
100g frozen peas
200g long-stem broccoli, cut into 3-4 pieces
150g crème fraîche
1 lemon, juiced
30g parmesan, grated, plus extra to serve
small bunch fresh mint, leaves picked

Steps:

  • Drizzle a little oil into a large, high-sided frying pan set over a medium heat. When the pan is hot, add the chicken and garlic, and fry for 5 mins, stirring often so it doesn't burn. Pour in 900ml boiling water, then add the stock cube and pasta along with some seasoning. Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer for 8 mins.
  • Stir in the peas and broccoli for the last 4 mins of cooking time, and replace the lid. You might need to increase the heat slightly to get the temperature back up to a simmer. Add a splash more water if the pasta is looking dry. After 4 mins, remove the lid and reduce the heat to low, then stir in the crème fraîche. Taste for seasoning. Remove the pan from the heat and stir through the lemon juice, parmesan and mint leaves. Finish with some extra parmesan, if you like.
