A delicious and easy-to-make one-pan pasta dish featuring tender chicken, fresh broccoli, and a creamy Parmesan sauce.
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Ensure the chicken is evenly seasoned for consistent flavor.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken until browned on both sides, about 4 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
Don't overcrowd the skillet to allow the chicken to brown properly.
Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet and sauté the onion, red pepper flakes, and oregano until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to prevent the spices from burning.
Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Garlic cooks quickly; avoid overcooking to prevent bitterness.
Pour in the milk and bring to a simmer.
Stir constantly to prevent the milk from scalding.
Add the pasta and broccoli to the skillet, cover, and cook until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is tender, about 10 minutes.
Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
Return the chicken to the skillet and cook for another 3 minutes until heated through.
Ensure the chicken is fully cooked before serving.
Stir in the remaining butter, Parmesan cheese, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
Taste and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Serve the pasta hot, garnished with additional Parmesan if desired.
Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
