The Story Behind This Dish

A little note from the kitchen.

This One-Pot Chicken & Broccoli Pasta has a comforting savory flavor with a light tang and a rich Parmesan finish. Everything comes together in one pan, making each spoonful warm, satisfying, and inviting.

The small pasta shells become tender while helping create a creamy sauce around the shredded chicken and bite-size broccoli. Greek yogurt adds smoothness, while garlic, Worcestershire sauce, tomato paste, fresh dill, and Parmesan build layers of flavor.

This practical meal works especially well for busy family evenings when you want a complete main dish without using several pans. It is also a convenient way to turn cooked chicken into a filling lunch or weeknight dinner.

Chef's Note

Choose a large pot or high-sided skillet so there is enough room to stir the pasta and broccoli without spilling.

Stir frequently after adding the broccoli because the small pasta shells can settle against the bottom of the pan.

Keep the broccoli pieces similar in size so they become tender during the same 7-to-8-minute cooking period.

Remove the pan from the heat before mixing in the Greek yogurt, Parmesan, chicken, and dill, as directed.

Popular Asked Questions

Q:

Can I prepare this recipe in a skillet instead of a pot?

A:
Yes. Use a high-sided skillet that is large enough to hold the liquid, pasta, broccoli, and chicken safely while the mixture boils.
Q:

Does the chicken need to be cooked before I add it?

A:
Yes. The recipe specifically calls for shredded cooked chicken breast, which is stirred into the pasta after the pan is removed from the heat.
Q:

How can I tell when the pasta mixture is ready?

A:
The pasta should be al dente, the broccoli should be tender, and the remaining liquid should have a creamy consistency after 7 to 8 minutes.
Q:

Why is the Greek yogurt added after cooking?

A:
The method adds it after the pan leaves the heat so it can be stirred smoothly into the finished pasta with the chicken, Parmesan, and dill.
