Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb penne pasta
  • 1 whole rotisserie chicken 3-4 lbs shredded about 4 cups meat
  • 4 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced fine
  • 1 medium yellow onion diced small
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese freshly grated

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes optional

Instructions

  1. Boil salted water in a large pot and cook penne pasta until just tender. Add broccoli florets in the last 3 minutes.
  2. Before draining, save 1 cup of pasta water, then drain pasta and broccoli and set aside.
  3. Warm olive oil and butter in a large skillet on medium-low heat. Sauté diced onion until soft for about 4 to 5 minutes and then add garlic for 30 seconds.
  4. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth and let it simmer gently for 2 to 3 minutes until small bubbles form at the edges.
  5. Remove from heat, then whisk in Parmesan and mozzarella cheese until the sauce becomes smooth. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes.
  6. Combine pasta and broccoli with the sauce using tongs to coat evenly. Fold in shredded rotisserie chicken last.
  7. Add reserved pasta water gradually by 2 tablespoons until sauce has a creamy glossy look. Finish with a cold bit of butter before serving.
