Chicken Broccoli Penne
Ingredients
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into 1 inch pieces
  • 1 tablespoon chopped onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, chopped
  • 2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced tomatoes
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 pinch dried oregano
  • 18 ounces dry penne pasta
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, cut into thin strips
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
1
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and warm the oil until it starts to shimmer. Add the chicken and cook for a few minutes on each side, or until it develops a light brown color. Next, add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the skillet and cook for around 5 minutes, or until the garlic is golden brown and the onions are soft.
2
Now, add the chopped tomatoes, steamed broccoli, salt, pepper, and dried oregano to the skillet. Stir everything together and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to a low simmer for about 10 minutes.
3
While the pasta is cooking, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until it's tender and slightly firm to the bite. Drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the pot.
4
Pour the prepared chicken sauce into the pot with the pasta and mix everything together. Add a handful of chopped fresh basil leaves to the pot and toss the pasta gently to combine.
5
Finally, sprinkle some grated Parmesan cheese over the top of the pasta and serve it hot.
