INGREDIENTS:

• 200g pasta (penne or fusilli)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 chicken breasts, cut into strips
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 small head of broccoli, divided into florets
• 1/2 cup Healo Foods Heritage Chicken Bone Broth (for added collagen and protein)
• 1/2 cup cream (10-20%)
• 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Cook the Pasta:
   In a large pot of salted water, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes). Drain the pasta, reserving 1/2 cup of the pasta water to use later for thickening the sauce.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
   While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken strips and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and fully cooked. This adds flavor and protein to the dish, making it a satisfying and hearty meal.
3. Sauté the Garlic and Onion:
   Add the minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet with the chicken. Stir and cook for another 3 minutes until the onion softens and the garlic becomes fragrant, enhancing the overall flavor of the pasta.
4. Add Broccoli and Bone Broth:
   Toss in the broccoli florets and pour in Healo Foods Heritage Chicken Bone Broth. Cover the skillet and let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the broccoli becomes tender. The bone broth adds depth of flavor and a rich source of nutrients like collagen, which is great for skin and joint health.
5. Make the Creamy Sauce:
   Pour in the cream and sprinkle the grated parmesan into the skillet. Stir well, letting the sauce cook for 2 more minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency. Add some reserved pasta water if needed to adjust the sauce to your desired consistency.
6. Combine Pasta and Sauce:
   Mix the cooked pasta into the skillet with the creamy chicken and broccoli sauce. Season with salt and pepper to taste, making sure the flavors are well balanced.
7. Garnish and Serve:
   Serve the pasta topped with freshly chopped parsley for a burst of color and flavor. The parsley not only adds freshness but also elevates the presentation of this comforting dish.

Enjoy!
