Ingredients
Crushed red pepper flakes
½ tsp or 0.2g
Directions
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan and cook the chicken until lightly browned and just cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same pan, cook the diced onion for 5-7 minutes until translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the pasta, chicken broth, red pepper flakes, and basil. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer until the broth is almost absorbed and pasta is nearly cooked, about 8 minutes.
- Add the broccoli, cover, and simmer for about 4 minutes until the broccoli is bright green.
- Return the chicken to the pan, add the milk, parmesan cheese, and lemon juice. Stir and simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Turn off the heat and let the dish sit for 2-3 minutes to thicken further before serving.
