Number Of Ingredients 8

1 can (14 1/2 ounces) chicken broth
2 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 cup plus 1 teaspoon olive oil
Salt
1 head broccoli, separated into small florets
1 pound fusilli pasta, (or similar size pasta, such as ziti)
2 garlic cloves, crushed with the flat side of a knife
Grated Parmesan cheese, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a boil in a medium saucepan. Add chicken. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover. Simmer until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove chicken; let cool. Using a fork, shred meat into bite-size pieces. Toss with 1 teaspoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Add broccoli, and cook until bright green and tender, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon; drain, and pat dry with paper towels. Add pasta to boiling water; cook until al dente. Drain.
  • Heat remaining 1/4 cup oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add cooked broccoli and the garlic. Cook, stirring often, 2 minutes. Stir in shredded chicken and cooked pasta. Cook 1 minute more. Remove garlic cloves. Transfer pasta mixture to a large platter. Serve with cheese.
