Chicken Broccoli Bake (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Key Components

01 - 1 pound of chicken breasts (3-4 pieces), no skin or bones
02 - 2 cups broccoli florets, fresh cut
03 - 8 oz bow-tie or tube pasta
04 - 1 cup thick cream
05 - 1 cup Parmesan cheese, newly grated
06 - 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
07 - 1 tsp herbs from Italy mix
08 - Salt and pepper, as needed
09 - 2 tbsp oil from olives

# How to Make It:

01 - Get your oven hot at 375°F (190°C). Coat a 9×13 inch dish with some olive oil.
02 - Toss diced chicken with salt and pepper in a pan over medium heat until it's golden and done, about 6-8 minutes.
03 - Toss chopped garlic and broccoli into the chicken pan. Cook them together for 3-4 more minutes till the broccoli turns vibrant green.
04 - Get your pasta tender but firm by boiling it in salty water. Follow the box timing. Drain but keep some water aside.
05 - Warm the thick cream in a pot and mix in the Parmesan until it's smooth. Add your Italian herbs mix.
06 - Throw the drained pasta, cooked chicken, broccoli, and the cheese sauce into your greased dish. Stir it all up.
07 - Let it bake for 20-25 minutes until it's bubbling and gets a bit golden on top.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Keep a bit of the pasta water handy to thin out your sauce if it seems too thick before you bake it.
