A throw-it-all-in-the-pan weeknight meal that's ready in 30 mins! | One-pot chicken & broccoli pasta

Easy one-pot pasta dinners are my favourite on busy weeknights.

I’m a bit of a creamy-cheesy sauce addict when it comes to sauces, but this is a lighter version that uses just a little Parmesan and some milk, rather than lots of heavy cream.
It means this One-pot chicken & broccoli pasta feels nice and light, but still with plenty of flavour.

Free printable recipe is available on our site: https://www.kitchensanctuary.com/one-pot-chicken-broccoli-pasta/

Ingredients:
2 tbsp olive oil
1 small onion peeled and chopped
3 cloves of garlic peeled and crushed
3 chicken breasts (this is about 525g/18.5oz), chopped into bite-size chunks
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
60 ml (¼ cup) white wine (optional – you can replace with water or stock)
600 ml (2 ½ cups) good quality chicken stock
180 ml (¾ cup) whole (full-fat) milk
300 g (10.5oz) dried pasta shapes
300 g 10.5oz) broccoli stalk removed, chopped into small florets
1 tsp lemon juice
50 g (½ packed cup) grated parmesan

To Serve:
Freshly chopped parsley
black pepper

Instructions
1. Heat the oil in a large frying pan (skillet) on a medium-high heat.

2. Add the chopped onion, chicken, salt and pepper and fry for 5-6 minutes, until the onions start to go translucent.

3. Add in the garlic, stir and cook for 30 seconds.

4. Add the wine and bring to the boil. Simmer for 1-2 minutes, then add the stock and milk.

5. Bring to the boil, then stir in the pasta. Bring back to a gentle bubble and place a lid on the pan. Turn down the heat and cook for 10 minutes.

6. Add in broccoli, stir, place the lid back on and cook for another 5 minutes, until the broccoli is tender, and the pasta is cooked.

7. Remove the lid, stir in the lemon juice and parmesan.

8. Serve, topped with a sprinkling of fresh parsley and black pepper.

  1. <Nice video and I thank you for breaking it down!! Even with the current crypto dip, I'm still glad ???? I can smile back at my portfolio of $53,700 made from my weekly trade within a short period of time

  2. I’d have fried that chicken first myself. Once it had some colour on, take it out and add it back in at the end.

  3. This may be gilding the lily but I'd zest that lemon and save it for the end also add in some dijon mustard to taste 🙂
