Pasta with Chicken and Broccoli is a simple, delicious, and satisfying meal that’s easy to make and perfect for a quick dinner!
Ingredients:
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 lb (about 450g) boneless, skinless chicken thighs (or drumsticks), cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 carrot, chopped
- 1 tomato, chopped
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 8 oz wide pasta (such as pappardelle or fettuccine)
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Water as needed
Instructions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Sauté the onion until soft and translucent.
- Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides.
- Stir in the carrot and tomato, season with salt, pepper, and paprika, and let everything simmer. Add small amounts of water as needed to keep it from drying out.
- Once the chicken is cooked through, pour in more water (enough to cook the pasta).
- When the water starts boiling, add the broccoli. After 5 minutes, add the pasta and cook until tender. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
- Remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan, and let it sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to blend.
