One Skillet Broccoli Parmesan Chicken with Bow Tie Pasta

One of the things I hate about cooking is the massive piles of dishes I accumulate when cooking dinner. This recipe is a one skillet sensation. The entire recipe will only use one pan to save you time in the kitchen.

This is also a healthy and easy weeknight recipe that your whole family can enjoy. You can read more about the benefits of eating broccoli here. You can see what you will will need for this recipe here:

Cut chicken into 1/2 – 1″ pieces. Heat one tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken, salt, and pepper. Sautee until chicken is no longer pink.

Remove chicken to a bowl. Add remaining oil, red pepper, basil, onion, and garlic to skillet. Cook onion until transparent.

Add chicken broth and 2 cups of water to pan. Bring to a bowl. Add pasta. Cover and reduce heat to low. Cook for about 12 minutes or until pasta is nearly done.

Add in broccoli and remaining 1/2 cup water. Cook covered for another 3-4 minutes or until broccoli and pasta are both tender.

Stir in Parmesan and milk.

Add chicken back and simmer uncovered until sauce thickens.

 Enjoy!
