Ingredients:

  • 500g boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed OR thinly sliced
  • 2 tablespoons Mazola Canola Oil
  • 1 cup diced onion
  • 1 teaspoon Italian herb seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cans (14.5 ounces each) reduced sodium chicken broth
  • 8 ounces fettuccini OR penne pasta
  • 4 cups fresh OR frozen broccoli florets
  • 1/2 cup julienned red bell pepper, optional
  • 4 ounces reduced fat cream cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Instructions:

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2 minutes or until lightly browned (chicken will not be fully cooked at this point). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
  2. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to pan; stir in onions and cook for 2 minutes. Add garlic, Italian herb seasoning and black pepper. Stir in chicken broth; bring to a boil. Add pasta and stir gently. Reduce heat to medium and cover pan with lid. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once. Add chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper (if desired) and cream cheese; stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  3. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened. Serve immediately.
