Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you save time and avoid scrambling during the cooking process.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. Whenever possible, use organic or locally-sourced ingredients.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and broccoli, make sure you don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente means "to the tooth" in Italian. It refers to the ideal state of cooked pasta, which is slightly firm to the bite.
  • Season to taste: Don't be afraid to adjust the seasonings in the recipe to your own taste. Add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder if you like.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.
