Chicken Pasta Primavera

A quick and creamy chicken pasta dish packed with fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., penne or spaghetti)
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced
  • 1 cup bell peppers, sliced
  • 1 cup zucchini, sliced
  • 1 cup broccoli florets
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta until it is al dente. Drain and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and cook until it is no longer pink.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until it smells nice.
  4. Add bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli. Cook until the vegetables are tender but still bright.
  5. Turn the heat low and stir in the heavy cream and the grated Parmesan until the sauce is smooth.
  6. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything so the pasta gets coated with sauce and vegetables.
  7. Taste and add salt and pepper as you like. Serve warm.

Notes

For a green, herby change, try a pesto cream version.
