Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Pasta

Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli Pasta

I took this recipe from here and modified it slightly.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon of olive oil
1 chicken breast, cut into 1-inch pieces
⅓ white onion
2 teaspoons of minced garlic
1 cup of chicken broth
1.5 cup water
200g pasta shells
200g broccoli, chopped into chunks
0.5 teaspoon of cayenne powder
0.25 teaspoon of nutmeg
0.5 cup milk
150g shredded cheddar cheese
Salt
Pepper


Instructions:

1) Heat the olive oil on medium heat in a pot. Add the chicken breasts, then season with salt and pepper.

2) Flip the chicken breasts once it is slightly brown, then flip them over and add the onions and garlic.

3) Once both sides of the chicken breasts are browned, add the chicken broth, water, and pasta.

4) Mix the pot well, then cover it with a lid and let the contents boil. Once it boils, stir the pot again.

5) Bring the heat to low, cover the pot again and let it simmer for 15 minutes.

6) By now most of the liquid should have evaporated. Stir the contents again, then add the broccoli and let it steam for another 5 minutes.

7) Add the milk and cheddar cheese and stir until everything is well-mixed.

8) Add the cayenne powder, nutmeg, and some salt and pepper. Stir and serve.
