An easy, flavorful dish with creamy sauce, tender rotisserie chicken, and vibrant broccoli, perfect for the whole family.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups pre-cooked, shredded rotisserie chicken
  • 8 ounces pasta (rotini or penne)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large pot of boiling salted water, add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving a bit of pasta water.
  2. In the same pot, bring water back to a simmer and add fresh broccoli florets. Cook for 3-4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp. Drain and set aside with the pasta.
  3. In a large pan over medium heat, add a little olive oil and the minced garlic, cooking for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring to combine with the garlic. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes, letting it thicken slightly.
  5. Add the shredded rotisserie chicken and grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce, stirring until combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Add the drained pasta and broccoli to the sauce, tossing everything together until evenly coated. If the sauce is too thick, a splash of reserved pasta water will help achieve the desired consistency.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For a kid-friendly version, substitute broccoli with peas or carrots. This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
