Creamy Broccoli, Chicken and Pasta

Here’s a variation of an earlier recipe using zucchini and ham I posted (see Useful Links below the recipe), only this time I tried a different meat and veggie, and tweaked the flavors a bit. It’s still low calorie and low fat and a nice casual family dinner. As a saucy one dish meal it’s a comfort food unto its own yet one far less diet-damaging than typical Alfredo dishes. A good recipe to use up leftover rotisserie chicken or roast turkey.

Ингредиенты

  • 4 ounces pasta, about 1 ½ cups (I used tiny bow ties or farfalle, but other pasta such as penne, mostaccioli, etc. work well
  • 2 cups broccoli cut into small pieces
  • ½ cup sliced green onions
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried basil, crushed
  • 1/4 teaspoon marjoram, crushed
  • 1 teaspoon reduced sodium chicken base
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
