Cooking a whole meal using just one piece of cookware is a dream come true for busy cooks. This recipe, using just a skillet is a tasty meal the whole family can enjoy. Featuring skinless chicken breast and lots of broccoli means it’s healthy too. If you want to make it even healthier, use low sodium chicken broth and cream of chicken soup and swap regular pasta for whole wheat pasta. The garlic and pepper gives the dish a little kick but if you want a plainer version you could lower the amount used.
It is also quite adaptable so if your household isn’t keen on broccoli you could try sweet onion or bell peppers instead. The recipe states that any leftovers need to go in the fridge but that is never a problem at my house as there is never any left! So if you are rushed for time or just too lazy to do too much washing up, try this delicious chicken skillet meal.
