After having this dish in an olive oil-based sauce, my family prefers it over an alfredo one. I came up with this one.

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, cubed
  • 1/2 cup italian dressing, zesty or robust
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/4 cup butter or margine
  • 1 pound ziti pasta

How To Make ziti, broccoli, and chicken

  • Step 1
    Marinate cut up chicken in dressing. Let sit for at least two hours in the refrigerator.
  • Step 2
    When ready to prepare, heat oil on medium-low heat until hot. Remove from heat and add garlic. Add butter and salt to oil and set aside.
  • Step 3
    In a large sauce pan, boil water for pasta. In a skillet, pour chicken, including any remaining dressing, and cook about 10 minutes.
  • Step 4
    When water boils, add pasta. Cook according to the package directions, minus 5 minutes. When the pasta is cooked within 5 minutes, add the broccoli to the same pan to blanch.
  • Step 5
    Drain pasta/broccoli together. Mix in large bowl with chicken and toss with the oil/garlic/butter mixture. Serve with parmesan cheese.
