Chicken, Broccoli, and Tomato Pasta
"This is an easy, budget-friendly Italian dish that I found in the paper. Since I usually have most of these ingredients on hand, I hope to try it soon. Until then, I'm putting it here for safe keeping."

- Serves:

6-8
ingredients
- 1 lb rigatoni pasta
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 cup diced onion
- 1 tablespoon chopped garlic
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 tablespoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 cup red wine
- 1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes
- 1⁄2 lb broccoli, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
- 1 cup grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
directions
- Boil pasta in 6 quarts of water for 8 to 10 minutes. (The pasta will be slightly undercooked). Drain, and set aside. Do NOT rinse.
- Heat the oil on medium high in a pot large enough to hold the 1 pound of cooked pasta, then add the chicken pieces. Cook for 2 minutes, turning the chicken to brown evenly on all sides.
- Add the diced onion, and cook for 2 more minutes. Stir in the chopped garlic, basil and oregano and cook for 1 minute. Season with salt and sugar, then pour in the red wine. Bring to a simmer, and reduce the liquid by half.
- Toss in the diced tomatoes, and return to a simmer. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked. Add the chopped broccoli, and continue cooking for 2 minutes.
- Mix in the pasta, and cook until the pasta reaches your preferred doness. Finish by mixing in the parmeasan cheese and taste for salt.

I LOVE to cook and eat and read cookbooks. My kitchen really does overfloweth with them and of course this has quickly become my favorite cooking site! I live with my husband in a small town in eastern Connecticut. We are both retired. My children are all grown and have families of their own now. Our 3 grandchildren and 1 great-granddaughter all live in Florida and it goes without saying that we miss them very much, so when my husband retired last year we celebrated by buying a small RV! We so enjoyed driving it to Florida to spend the holidays with the little ones. Although COVID has prevented us from repeating the trip this year, I am enjoying learning new recipes to make in our RV for next year. I think the Instant Pot and the Crock Pot will be my new best friends while traveling!
