The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium white onion (chopped)
  • 2 chicken breasts (boneless and skinless, cubed into bite-sized pieces)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 10 ounce condensed cheddar broccoli soup (or cream of chicken soup, 1 can)
  • 2 ½ cups chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 8 ounce penne (uncooked, or other small-shaped pasta)
  • 1 small head of broccoli (cut into florets, about 2 1/2 cups)
  • 2 ½ cups sharp cheddar (shredded)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (freshly chopped)

Instruction

  • Cook the Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, cubed chicken breasts, salt, and pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and the chicken browns slightly.
  • Add Ingredients: Add the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, or until aromatic. Stir in the condensed soup, chicken broth, and pasta. Stir well to combine. Let the mixture come to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and cook for 10-15 minutes, until the pasta is almost completely cooked.
  • Finish: Stir in the broccoli and 1 cup of the cheddar cheese, then sprinkle the remaining cheese over the top of the casserole. Cover and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve.
