Pasta and Chicken

Method

Cooking the Pasta

  1. 1

    Boil the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the bowtie pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Stir occasionally.

  2. 2

    Add Broccoli

    In the last 3 minutes of cooking the pasta, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Continue cooking until the broccoli is bright green and tender.

  3. 3

    Drain Pasta and Broccoli

    Once cooked, drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander and set aside.

Cooking the Chicken and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Cook the Chicken

    In a large skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

  2. 5

    Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes

    In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Then add cherry tomatoes and crushed red pepper, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 6

    Combine Pasta, Chicken, and Vegetables

    Add the drained pasta and broccoli to the skillet with the sautéed garlic and tomatoes. Slice the cooked chicken and add it to the skillet as well. Toss everything together until well combined.

  2. 7

    Add Cheese

    Sprinkle the grated Pecorino Romano cheese over the pasta dish and toss to combine. Adjust the seasoning with additional salt and black pepper to taste.

Serving

  1. 8
