Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken thighs Use skinless for a lighter dish.
  • 1 cup heavy cream You can substitute with half-and-half for less richness.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Freshly grated is best for flavor.
  • 4 clove garlic Minced or pressed.
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning Adjust to taste.
  • 8 oz penne pasta Any short pasta will work.
  • 2 cup broccoli florets Fresh or frozen.
  • 1 cup chicken broth Low-sodium preferred.

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  • Add the chicken thighs and cook until browned on both sides, about 8 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Add the Italian seasoning and heavy cream, mixing well.
  • Stir in the penne pasta and broccoli. Combine thoroughly, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
  • Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake for 30 minutes.
  • Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the cheese is bubbly and golden.

Notes

For a crunchier topping, broil for a couple of minutes at the end. Serve with crusty bread for a complete meal!
