6 Servings

Serving Size:
1 cup
Ingredients:
- 2 whole skinless, boneless chicken breasts (1 1/2 pounds) cut in 1" cubes
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 1⁄2 cups or more chopped broccoli, fresh or frozen
- 1 can (14.5 ounces) low sodium chicken broth (see notes)
- 1 can (10.5 ounces) low sodium condensed cream of chicken soup
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 cloves garlic, minced or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 cups small shell pasta, uncooked
- 1 cup (4 ounces) cheddar cheese, shredded
Directions:
Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat (350 degrees in an electric skillet). Add chicken and cook until no longer pink, about 2-3 minutes.
Add broccoli, broth, soup, pepper, garlic and pasta. Bring to a boil.
Reduce heat to lowest setting, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until pasta is tender.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Check near the end of cooking and add a small amount of water, if needed.
Add cheese during last two minutes.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
Notes:
Broth can be canned or made using bouillon. For each cup of broth use 1 cup very hot water and 1 teaspoon or 1 cube bouillon.
Use whole wheat pasta when available.
