Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Cook the Pasta

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Broccoli Rabe

    In the same pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli rabe and sauté for about 5 minutes until tender. Remove from the pot and set aside.

  3. 3

    Cook the Chicken

    Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. In the same pot, add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the pot and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Oil

    In the same pot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  5. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the cooked penne pasta, sautéed broccoli rabe, and drained white beans to the pot with the garlic. Toss everything together gently to combine.

  6. 6

    Finish the Dish

    Slice the chicken and serve it on top of the pasta mixture. Drizzle with more olive oil if desired, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.
