Author Samantha @MyKitchenLove

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil such as olive oil or canola
  • 2 large chicken breasts thinly sliced (about 1/2" wide stripes)
  • 4 garlic cloves very finely chopped or minced
  • 1 lbs / 454 grams dried pasta such as spaghetti or linguine
  • 5 cups chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1 large head of broccoli or 2 medium heads briefly blitzed in a food processor or roughly chopped into small pieces
  • juice from 1/2 lemon
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh herbs such as basil, cilantro, chives and/or oregano
  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add sliced chicken and cook, stirring occasionally for 4-6 minutes or until chicken starts to brown and is cooked through.
  2. Add garlic and cook, stirring for 1-2 minutes (garlic should become fragrant).
  3. Add pasta and broth. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer.
  4. Add broccoli with 3 minutes left for the pasta to cook (as per package instructions, so this pasta required 11 minutes cooking time, I added the broccoli after the pasta had been cooking for 8 minutes). Stir to fully incorporate and cook over medium-low heat for remaining time.
  5. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice, herbs, salt and pepper.
