In a tomato-garlic sauce, boneless chicken and broccoli are a delectable combination. Use your preferred pasta shape; penne and shells are both suitable.

Easy and tasty.
My family absolutely loved it!! We used everything the recipe called for and we also threw in garlic bread sticks! Well detailed and really easy to make, Thank you!
This recipe was a hit with my family.
Absolutely delicious! My husband is super picky about what he eats and usually sticks to the same meals over and over again, and he loved it. He cleaned his plate. I would probably add a little tomato sauce with the diced onions if I were going to make it stretch a little further but other than that it was delicious.
Quick and delicious! I’ve had substitute penne pasta for lentil spaghetti.
Good for lunch not very filling for dinner.
Added extra oregano, Italian seasoning and garlic, used cut spaghetti and tomatoes with green chilis, good flavor.
I made this as is and it was easy and yummy.
Was really great and full of flavor. I used Angle Hair pasta instead of penne. Was ok but didn’t absorb mush of any juice from tomatoes. Still a great dish and will be using it again.
Ok…so i seasoned the chicken with a lil cajun seasoning,some Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and browned it in a mixture of olive oil and butter. Added chopped onion and garlic. I used roasted tomatoes and green chilies (rotel) and added a small amount of chicken broth…the smell was to die for…the taste was even better!! Paired it with garlic bread, and a glass of Riesling. BON APPETIT!
Made for 95 yr old mother who has to have all her food separated. She ate as is and really enjoyed it. You do need to add a little sauce or broth for moisture
It turned out great and the whole family liked it!
It was ok.
I added chicken broth as recommended by a previous reviewer and added the basil earlier. It tasted very good and was very easy to cook.
We changed this up a lot. I sautéed the garlic first then added in the chicken. The onion was added after the chicken completed. We added a cup of red wine, a lot of basil and oregano. Added in the diced tomatoes and broccoli and just let it simmer for 10-15 min. And then we added some red pepper flakes for a bit of a kick. We let it finish simmering and served it over rotini. Next time I think we will also add mushrooms.
I included all the recommended changes to the recipe. Even with those “improvement’s”, I’m removing it from my favorites list.
I doubled the recipe and it was delicious! My guests loved it and they all asked me for the recipe! This will definitely be my goto meal!
I was greatly disappointed. This is what I consider a work in process. The recipe needed alot of work. I ended up following others suggestions and then some to enhance the flavor. Spices for one, salt & pepper for another. When all said & done, it turned out pretty good, my family thought so as well not knowing the lengths to make it so.
Made this for my girls & myself. Very quick & easy to make. Did think it tasted very like Spanish chicken tho, so needs a little something extra to make it different. Will play around with the recipe see what I can come up with
Nice, quick dinner using staples from the cupboard. I cooked the pasta in chicken broth and added a bit to the veggies and chicken while it cooked. Yummy!
