Vejledning

Cook the chicken.

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and season them with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and starts to lightly brown.

Add flavor.

Add the onions, garlic and cook for another 2 minutes until the onions softens a little bit.

Cook the pasta.

Add the pasta, chicken broth, milk and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down to low, stir, cover the pot/skillet and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta cooks through.

Add in the broccoli.

Uncover the pot and stir in the broccoli. Continue cooking for a couple more minutes until all the liquid evaporates.

Finish the dish.

Stir in the nutmeg and cheddar cheese. Taste for seasoning and adjust with salt and pepper if needed.
