Broccoli Chicken Bow Ties in Vodka Sauce image

This pasta is so easy to throw together on a weeknight and my son gobbles it down. Feel free to use any vodka sauce (homemade is probably wonderful...) but Bertolli makes the best jarred vodka sauce we have tried.

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 -1 1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, cubed
seasoning salt (or salt and pepper with garlic powder)
1 -2 tablespoon olive oil
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (optional)
1 bunch broccoli, in florets
24 ounces vodka sauce (bertolli recommended)

Steps:

  • bring water to a boil for pasta.
  • meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large deep skillet and saute chicken (and if using, mushrooms) seasoning with seasoning salt.
  • when it's browned and mostly cooked through pour in the jar of sauce, cover and reduce heat to simmer while the pasta cooks.
  • cook pasta with a steamer above it to steam broccoli tender crisp (if you don't have one like this, steam of boil broccoli to tender crisp and drain well).
  • drain both well and toss with chicken and sauce.
  • add 1/4 cup parmesan, stir to mix.
  • serve with remaining cheese sprinkled on top.
