Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 pound chicken breasts (boneless and skinless cut into small bite size pieces)
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 8 ounce pasta (uncooked, such as penne, shells, rigatoni, etc.)
  • 1 cup chicken broth (low sodium)
  • 2 cups milk
  • 2 cup broccoli (cut into small florets, 1 head of broccoli)
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)

Instruction

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and season them with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and starts to lightly brown.
  • Add the onions, garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until the onions softens a little bit.
  • Add the pasta, chicken broth, milk and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, stir, cover the pot/skillet and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta cooks through.
  • Uncover the pot and stir in the broccoli. Continue cooking for a couple more minutes until all the liquid evaporates. Stir in the nutmeg and cheddar cheese. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve while warm.
