Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 c olive oil
2 large boneless chicken breasts, cut into strips
3 garlic cloves , slivered
salt and ground pepper to taste
2 c broccoli flowerets
1/2 lb ziti, cooked
1/3 c half and half or milk
1/2 c fresh parmesan cheese
2 Tbsp unsalted butter
dried red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 c pasta water as needed

Steps:

  • 1. Heat 1/4 cup of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the chicken with the garlic, salt, and pepper until lightly browned. Add the broccoli flowerets. Toss with the chicken. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Add milk and ONLY 1/4 of the grated Parmesan cheese. Using high heat, quickly toss all ingredients until a nice milky sauce has formed (1-2 min.).

Add the reserve pasta water as needed and toss again. Sprinkle with remaining grated Parmesan cheese, and red flakes. Serve.
  • 3. NOTE: You can make this dish without the chicken, Just add a little of a vegetable stock when sautéing the garlic and broccoli.
