Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Pasta Skillet Recipe
Pin to Pinterest

Tonight’s recipe is an easy and healthy meal that’s perfect for make ahead meals. Similar to the bags of frozen Birds Eye Voila Skillet Meals, where you just heat and serve. Only you control the ingredients and keep the preservatives out. Change up the cheese, meat, seasonings and pasta for lots of different flavor combinations.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 1 ½ cups Monterey jack shredded cheese
  • 1 lb. chicken breasts
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup milk
  • 3 cloves crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • ½ tsp. pepper
  • 1 ½ cups uncooked bowtie pasta

Chop chicken into small bite sized pieces. In a saucepan over medium, heat 1-2 Tbsp. olive oil, add garlic and chicken, saute until cooked through. Set aside to cool.

    Does the cooked chicken go into the freezer bag with everything else? Didn’t see it say that on the instructions and want to make sure

      It does go in the bag with everything else. Thanks for catching that, Trish.

      Yes, sauté the chicken first. Then cook the pasta in the instant pot with all the ingredients on high for about 5 minutes.
