Time 50m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package orecchiette pasta
¼ cup butter
¼ cup olive oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
4 large chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
3 cups chopped broccoli
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 teaspoons dried basil
½ teaspoon black pepper
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
salt to taste

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in orecchiette and return to a boil. Cook pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain and reserve 1 cup pasta water.
  • While pasta is cooking, combine butter and olive oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add garlic and saute until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Add shredded chicken, broccoli, Parmesan cheese, basil, pepper, and garlic powder; toss to coat. Stir in pasta and reserved pasta water until evenly distributed. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.

This was a great recipe! I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and they cooked perfectly. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the broccoli was cooked just right. I will definitely be making this again!

This dish was just okay. The chicken was a bit dry and the sauce was a little bland. I think I would have liked it more if I had used more flavorful ingredients.

This recipe was a disaster! The chicken was tough and the broccoli was mushy. The sauce was also very bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.
