How To Make skillet chicken, broccoli, pasta and asiago
-
Step 1Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a skillet. Add chicken and cook until most pink has disappeared, stirring a few times. Remove chicken and put in a bowl; set aside. Do not drain.
-
Step 2Add the other 1 Tbsp of oil to the pan, onion, and 1/2 tsp salt. Stir often until the onion is translucent and softened. Stir in garlic oregano and pepper flakes. Cook 30 seconds until fragrant.
-
Step 3Add pasta (I like ziti, penne or rigatoni) and 2 cups of water and the can of broth. Bring to a boil and continue to cook over high heat until liquid becomes thick and syrupy. It will almost be absorbed in 12-15 minutes.
-
Step 4Add broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and final 3/4 cup of water. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook until broccoli is bright green and almost tender; 3-5 minutes.
-
Step 5Uncover and return to high heat. Stir in cream and 1/2 Asiago cheese and reserved chicken and juices. Simmer uncovered to cook the chicken all the way through and thicken the sauce. Roughly 2 minutes. If the sauce is too thick, add water as needed. Stir in fresh lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste.
