Pasta With Chicken and Broccoli

Submitted by Student Sarah

"This isn't a creamy pasta. It looks nice and tastes pretty good. Tastes good with a salad of baby spinach, Roma tomatoes, and feta cheese with a basil dressing! I kinda modified this recipe from allrecipes.com. On that site, it's called: Chicken and Broccoli Pasta"

 

• Ready In: 40mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into small 1 inch chunks
• 1 tablespoon chopped onion (I used the sweet)
• 2 chopped garlic cloves or 2 teaspoons of minced garlic
• 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
• 2 1⁄2 cups fresh broccoli florets
• 1⁄2 teaspoon oregano (or more)
• 24 ounces pasta shells
• fresh strips basil (as much as you want)
• grated parmesan cheese

directions

1. In a fairly large skillet, warm oil and add chicken. Cook for about 15 minutes over medium-high heat. At the same time, a pot of hot water needs to be put on to boil.
2. Add onion and garlic and cook until the garlic is golden and onions are soft. Near the end of this step, add some basil.
3. When the water starts to boil, add pasta and cook until slightly firm.
4. Drain pasta and put back in pot. Pour chicken mixture into pot and stir well.
5. Add remaining basil and keep mixing.
6. Serve with some parmesan cheese on top.

This recipe is FANTASTIC!! It's so very easy to make and tastes even better as leftovers. I did add extra garlic cloves and my husband and I eat garlic every chance we get! Turned out perfect! Thanks so much for the great recipe!!
