As easy to make as it is delicious, this seemingly indulgent but surprisingly healthy one-pot creamy chicken pasta will no doubt become a family favorite!
Bring the chicken broth to the boil in a medium saucepan.
Meanwhile, heat the cooking fat in a large saute pan with fitting lid set over medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add the pieces of chicken, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until slightly golden brown, about 8-10 minutes.
Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery, oregano, salt and pepper; stir to coat and cook for about 1 minute, then add the chicken broth and dry pasta. Stir well, bring back to the boil then reduce heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 8 minutes, stirring delicately from time to time, until the pasta is slightly undercooked.
Add broccoli and stir it in. Dilute the corn starch in the cream or milk and stir well into the sauce.
Bring back to a simmer and continue cooking for one minute to ensure that the starch is completely cooked and has reached its full thickening power.
Allow to rest uncovered for 5 minutes, garnish with chopped parsley and grated parmesan, if desired, and serve.
