Pasta – you can also use spaghetti pasta or other pasta types.You can garnish the dish with grated parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, and toasted flaked almonds, if you wish. Season a little more with salt, pepper and lemon juice, if necessary. Add the chicken back to the pan, add the cooked pasta and steamed broccoli. Season the sauce with salt, pepper and lemon juice (about 1 tablespoon).Ħ. Add all the 4 cheeses (1/2 cup gorgonzola cheese (3.5oz/100g), 1/2 cup cream cheese (3.5oz/100g) and previously grated mozzarella and parmesan cheese) and 1/2 cup of milk (120ml) to the pan and cook until the cheeses are melted and the sauce has thickened (if it’s too runny, just cook it a little longer, stirring from time to time).ĥ. Make the sauce: Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan, when it’s sizzling add finely chopped garlic, 1 teaspoon of dry basil and 1/2 teaspoon of onion powder and cook, stirring, over medium heat for a minute.Ĥ. Don’t stir for the first 2 minutes (to let the chicken brown), then cook, stirring until the chicken is cooked through (no longer pink inside). Once hot, add the chicken pieces in an even layer. Chicken: Heat 2 tablespoons of oil over high heat in a big frying pan.While the pasta is cooking, cook the chicken and prepare the sauce. It’s really the easiest way and you don’t have a lot of clean-up or need a special steamer! Fusilli pasta, that I have used, needs to be cooked for 10 minutes and the broccoli needs to be steamed for 8 minutes. So there’s a pot with pasta, a sieve with broccoli florets hung above the pot, and all of that is covered with a lid. I like to cook the pasta in a pot and steam the broccoli in a sieve above the pot (see the photos). Pasta + broccoli: Cook 8.5oz/240g (about 3 cups uncooked pasta) pasta al dente (it should have a bite to it) and steam (or cook) the broccoli.Start with preparing the ingredients: divide the broccoli (1 head broccoli, 1lb/450g) into florets, cut the chicken breast (3 chicken breasts, 1.3lbs/600g) into 1-inch/2.5 cm cubes, chop 3 garlic cloves very finely, grate 3.5oz/100g mozzarella (on the big holes of a box grater) and 1.2oz/35g parmesan cheese (on the small holes of a box grater).
