Ingredients
Method
Cooking the Pasta and Broccoli
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions; add the broccoli for the last 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Cooking the Chicken
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces in a single layer and let them sear until golden, about 4–5 minutes, stirring once.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Making the Sauce
- Sprinkle the flour over the chicken and stir to coat until it forms a light paste.
- Slowly whisk in the milk and chicken broth, scraping any brown bits from the pan. Lower the heat to medium and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3–4 minutes.
- Once thickened, stir in salt, pepper, cheddar, and Parmesan until the cheese melts and the sauce is smooth and glossy.
Combining Everything
- Toss the cooked pasta and broccoli into the skillet, stirring until everything is combined and heated through. Serve hot.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat gently with a splash of milk.
