    Penne with Chicken and Broccoli


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 tablespoon olive oil
    3 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (about 3/4 pound), sliced into strips
    1/4 cup flour
    Black pepper to taste
    1 clove minced garlic
    3/4 pound penne pasta (or other short tubular pasta)
    4 cups broccoli florets and peeled stems, cut into bite-size pieces
    1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    1 stick butter, softened

    Recipe



    Wash hands. Place a large pot filled with water on stove under high heat (for the pasta).
    Place oil in large skillet.
    Place flour on large piece of wax paper; sprinkle with pepper, as desired.
    Heat skillet over medium heat. Lightly coat chicken in flour mixture; shake off any excess and immediately place in hot skillet.
    Saute for 2 minutes, stirring frequently until just browned on both sides.
    Stir in garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
    Cover pot to keep warm.
    When water is at a rolling boil, add pasta and cook, uncovered, for 6 minutes.
    Carefully add broccoli and continue to cook, about 2 to 3 minutes, until pasta is just tender and broccoli is cooked.
    Scoop out 1 cup of pasta cooking water and then drain pasta.
    In large serving bowl, blend Parmesan cheese with butter until fluffy. Blend with reserved cooking water to make a sauce.
    Add pasta, broccoli and chicken; toss gently until combined.
