Provided by Blair Lonergan

Categories     Dinner

Time 37m

Number Of Ingredients 17

½ lb. dry penne pasta
1 cup broccoli florets
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons salted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 asparagus spears, chopped
½ cup diced zucchini
¼ cup diced sweet bell pepper
8 cherry tomatoes, halved
¼ cup chicken broth, or more as needed
½ cup heavy cream, at room temperature
½ cup finely-grated Parmesan cheese
½ cup frozen peas, thawed
¼ cup minced fresh chives (or sub with thinly-sliced green onions)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves (or sub with 1 teaspoon dried basil)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water for 1 minute less than al dente, according to package instructions (that was about 9 minutes total for my box of penne). During the final 3 minutes of cooking time, add the broccoli florets to the boiling water with the pasta. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides. Cook the chicken in the oil until browned on both sides and juices run clear, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken to a cutting board, let rest for 5 minutes, and then slice into thin strips.
  • In the same pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and stir until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in asparagus, increase the heat to medium-high, and cook for 1 minute. Add the zucchini and bell pepper, cook for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and cook for 1 more minute.
  • Add the chicken broth, increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
  • Reduce heat to low so that the liquid is at a gentle simmer. Stir in the cream and Parmesan until smooth.
  • Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, peas, chives and basil to the sauce. Let it bubble and thicken slightly, stirring frequently, until all of the ingredients are warmed through, about 2 more minutes. Taste and season with salt and pepper, if necessary. Stir in the chicken and serve immediately.
