Chicken and broccoli pasta is a delicious and EASY chicken pasta recipe that can be made with any in season vegetable! This easy dinner comes together in 25 minutes!
Sometimes the recipes I create are simply out of laziness. I typically do a great job with meal planning for the week. But, there are times where I have thought so much that my head has hurt. That’s how this Chicken and Broccoli Pasta recipe came together in my kitchen; pure exhaustion and the need to feed the kids in a timely manner.
If you come over to my house and inspect the pantry you will be pleasantly surprised to see a plethora of pasta. I’ve got angel hair, fettuccine, spaghetti, rotini and everything in between.
You may be asking, WHY? Well, the answer is because pasta dinners come together quickly, my kids LOVE pasta, and you can literally throw anything into noodles and you are guaranteed a successful meal.
Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Recipe Notes
Think of this Chicken and Broccoli Pasta recipe as a base. If you don’t have broccoli, throw in some corn, avocado, carrots or whatever vegetable you have on hand that pairs well with chicken.
Now, I’m going to warn you that for me, this recipe calls for A LOT of butter. Simply because I knew I was out of EVOO in my jar, but, *thought* {I wasn’t wanting to think, remember?!?} I had EVOO in my pantry….I didn’t 🙁 So if you have EVOO you can totally substitute that for the butter.
