A comforting and creamy pasta dish featuring rotisserie chicken and broccoli in a luscious sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (penne, fusilli, or rotini)
  • 2 cups cooked rotisserie chicken, shredded
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (parmesan or mozzarella)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Reserve ½ cup of pasta water and drain the rest.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.
  3. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and chicken broth to the skillet. Let simmer on low heat for about 3-5 minutes.
  5. Slowly add heavy cream and mix well until the sauce thickens.
  6. Add the cooked pasta and shredded cheese, tossing until the pasta is coated. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to melt the cheese.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, mix thoroughly, and serve warm, garnished with extra cheese if desired.

Notes

Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to three days. To reheat, add a splash of cream or reserved pasta water to keep it creamy.
