Chicken, Broccoli, and Tomato Pasta image

This is an easy, budget-friendly Italian dish that I found in the paper. Since I usually have most of these ingredients on hand, I hope to try it soon. Until then, I'm putting it here for safe keeping.

Categories     Chicken

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 lb rigatoni pasta
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 cup diced onion
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup red wine
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1/2 lb broccoli, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese

Steps:

  • Boil pasta in 6 quarts of water for 8 to 10 minutes. (The pasta will be slightly undercooked). Drain, and set aside. Do NOT rinse.
  • Heat the oil on medium high in a pot large enough to hold the 1 pound of cooked pasta, then add the chicken pieces. Cook for 2 minutes, turning the chicken to brown evenly on all sides.
  • Add the diced onion, and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic, basil and oregano and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and sugar, then pour in the red wine. Bring to a simmer, and reduce the liquid by half.
  • Toss in the diced tomatoes, and return to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add the chopped broccoli, and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
  • Mix in the pasta, and cook until the pasta reaches your preferred doness. Finish by mixing in the parmeasan cheese and taste for salt.

This recipe was a bit too salty for my taste. Next time, I'll use less salt.

I didn't have any chicken broth, so I used vegetable broth instead. It worked just fine.

I'm allergic to broccoli, so I used a different vegetable. I used cauliflower, and it was great.

This recipe is a bit too spicy for my taste. Next time, I'll use less chili pepper.

I'm not a fan of tomatoes, so I used a different type of sauce. I used a pesto sauce, and it was delicious.

I'm on a diet, so I made a few changes to this recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat pasta, low-fat cheese, and reduced-sodium tomato sauce.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I always have some leftover chicken in my fridge, and this is a great way to use it up.

I added a few extra vegetables to this recipe, such as bell peppers and zucchini. It made the dish even more colorful and flavorful.

I'm a vegetarian, so I made this recipe with tofu instead of chicken. It turned out great! The tofu was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the sauce was delicious.

This recipe was a waste of time. The instructions were unclear and the end result was inedible.

I tried this recipe and it was just okay. The chicken was a little dry and the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste.

I made this recipe last night and it was a disaster. The chicken was dry, the broccoli was mushy, and the tomato sauce was bland. I won't be making this again.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but I really enjoyed this dish. The sauce was so flavorful that it made me forget all about the broccoli.

This recipe was a hit with my family! The chicken was tender and flavorful, the broccoli was cooked perfectly, and the tomato sauce was rich and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again.
