Ingredients:
– 2 cups broccoli florets
– 8 ounces pasta of your choice
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 pound boneless chicken breast, cubed
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Begin by cooking the pasta according to the package directions. Once done, drain and set it aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken breast and cook until it’s browned and no longer pink in the center, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the broccoli florets and chicken broth to the skillet. Cover and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender.
5. Remove the lid and stir in the cooked pasta and Parmesan cheese. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
