Ingredients for Angel Hair Chicken

  • 8 ounces angel hair pasta
  • Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts
  • Olive Oil
  • Baby Carrots
  • Broccoli
  • Garlic Cloves
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Chicken Broth

How to Make Angel Hair Chicken

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 pound of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces. Cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  2. Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the same skillet. Add 1 cup of chopped carrots and cook for 4 minutes, until slightly softened.
  3. Add 1 cup of broccoli florets and 2 cloves of minced garlic. Cook for 2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly tender.
  4. Pour in 1/2 cup of chicken broth and 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley.
  5. Reduce heat to low, and simmer for 4 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  6. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet. Stir in 8 ounces of angel hair pasta and toss to combine. Cook until pasta is heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
