One Pot Chicken & Broccoli Pasta

This creamy chicken and broccoli pasta makes for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. We opt for small shells in this recipe, but any other small pasta—like orecchiette—would work, too.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsalted chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 8 ounces whole-grain small shell pasta
  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 ½ tablespoons worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted tomato paste
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 12 ounces broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast
  • ¾ cup whole-milk plain greek yogurt
  • ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Combine broth, water, pasta, oil, Worcestershire, tomato paste, garlic, pepper and salt in a large pot or high-sided skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli; cook, stirring often to prevent the pasta from sticking, until the pasta is al dente, the broccoli is tender and the sauce is creamy, 7 to 8 minutes.
  2. Remove from heat, and stir in chicken, yogurt, Parmesan and dill.
