Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the rigatoni pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Chicken

    While the pasta cooks, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and let rest before slicing.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Broccoli

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 4-5 minutes until tender and bright green.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked rigatoni to the skillet with the broccoli. Toss to combine. Slice the cooked chicken and place it on top. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes before serving.
