One-Pan Creamy Pesto Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake 🤤 I took some time off from TikTok this year, but I’m BACK baby and ready to share tons of recipes and launch some new series! One-pan meals have my heart, so I figured what better way to make my return than with a cheesy, delicious one-pan pasta bake To be honest, I completely forgot I was filming this as one-pan 🙃 so I didn’t cook the pasta in the same pan BUT I will write in the caption how to cook your pasta in the same pan if that’s the way you wanna go! LMK if you make this one!! Ingredients: 1lb pasta of choice 5-6 cups chicken broth (if making the one-pot version) 1u002F3 cup cun-dried tomatoes + oil 1lb chicken 1 tbsp butter 1u002F2 yellow onion, diced Salt and pepper, to taste Paprika, to taste Oregano, to taste Tony’s seasoning, to taste 1 head of garlic, minced (or to taste) 2 cups heavy cream 1-2 cups cooked broccoli, to taste 2 handfuls spinach, to taste 2 cups freshly shredded parmesan cheese (plus more for topping and serving) 2 cups shredded mozzarella (I used @Tillamook in this recipe) 1u002F2 cup pesto, to taste (I recommend Costco brand) Parsley to garnish (If you’re cooking your pasta in the same pot, make sure you use a bigggg pan or dutch oven) One-Pot Version: 1. Preheat oven to 350F 2. In a large (oven-safe) saucepan or dutch oven, heat about 1tbsp of sun-dried tomato oil over mediumu002Fhigh heat. Cook your chicken until no longer pink. Remove from pan and set aside. Let rest for a few minutes and then cut into bit sized pieces. 3. In the same pan, melt your butter. Add in your seasonings and stir to toast. Add in your onion and sauté for 4 minutes or so. Throw in your garlic and stir for another 30 seconds. 4. Pour in your chicken broth, season with a pinch of salt, stir, and bring to a simmer. 5. Once simmering, pour in your pasta. Stir, cover, and simmer until pasta is cooked through. This should take about 15-25 minutes, but keep an eye on it and stir occasionally. (Tip: start with 5 cups of broth, then add more if needed). 6. Once your pasta is cooked, pour in your heavy cream and stir. Simmer for a couple of minutes. 7. Reduce heat to mediumu002Flow. Add in 1 cup of parmesan and 1 cup of mozzarella cheese. Stir until melted. 8. Add in your sun-dried tomatoes, cooked broccoli, spinach, and pesto. Stir. 9. Top with remaining mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake at 350F for 15 minutes, then finish under the broiler for another 5 minutes, or until you have a nice and golden crust. 10. Sprinkle with fresh parsley, a touch more parmesan, and enjoy! Video Version: 1. Preheat oven to 350F 2. Boil noodles in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside. 3.
