Healthy Chicken Pasta

I followed the recipe to the T. (Minus the broccoli). Unfortunately, it was so bland and the sauce never thickened so I drained the liquid and added Raos, marinara sauce and a LOT of Franks!!

Simple but nice, a tomatoey slightly peppery sauce with well seasoned chicken with pasta, what can go wrong?

Need to cook the broccoli for longer before adding

Recipe is already perfect it came out amazing, Italian family approved!!

Yum

It was so nice that my mom to some for lunch

Would swap out the broccoli for red onion but a lovely recipe otherwise

A spiced-up take on a basic tomato pasta dish. It doesn't blow me out of the water, but it's an easy, tasty dish nicely balanced in carbs, protein and veg for a quick dinner, with leftovers for lunch. Might try adding onion next time.

I think I would add bell peppers in the recipe. But.it was really good and I can have it tomorrow for lunch with the leftovers cause it's really filling.

Forgot the chicken stock 🤦🏼‍♀️ it was still great though.

Really enjoyed this. Doubled the quantity of garlic coz we love it, and only cooked the broccoli for 2mins so it was still nice and crunchy.

lots of flavour! used more pasta, spinach, broccoli & tomatoes than the recipe calls for & it turned out well with 4 servings

Sauce was very watery so I added some cornflour to try thicken it abit, if I make it again I'll use less chicken stock. Otherwise very nice and will definitely try again. 4 younge kids also really enjoyed it which is a win :)

I used veggie pasta cooked in the microwave along with a steamable bag of broccoli. Otherwise prepared as instructed.

Low cal, yet filling and tastes great!

We enjoyed this dish. I didn't add the broccoli because hubby won't eat cooked broccoli. I put more fresh garlic and added some garlic salt. It made great leftovers too!

Skipped the garlic. Was delicious nonetheless

Added Mushrooms. Fry these with the chicken. Didn't over cook the broccoli which was lovely. Added too much 🌶 chilli! Wow was it hot!!

Made more than once now and added slightly different ingredients, such as runner beans. Always very tasty, comforting and filling.

I just threw in a bunch of leftover steamed veggies from Chinese takeout and it worked great

My partner and I really enjoyed it even went for seconds, just forgot to put cheese but there's still more left so I'm going to add cheese in the next meal.

I loved this recipe and it's definitely a family favorite now but the amount of sauce was not even close to enough for pasta, chicken, broccoli, and spinach. So I added a whole bottle of tomato puree and it was perfect.

I added about 4 more tbsp of tomato puree. My family loved it!

Lovely- added onions, made 10 portions- great for meal prep.

Added a little tomato puree at the end when you add the chicken.

It was very nice and easy to prepare.

It was so good, but it took me a little longer than 30 minutes to make!

Enjoyed it! Will definitely cook again when in the mood for pasta.

I can’t believe that something is so tasty could be so healthy

Added a tiny bit of heavy cream while simmering

It was lovely, we stirred in some cream cheese as the sauce was a bit spicy for us. We'll definitely cook it again 😋

Make sure to use a large pot as adding ingredients at the end gets difficult otherwise.

Added an extra head of broccoli because veggies are tasty, added about double the tomato paste because I needed to use up what was in the fridge, 3 breasts instead of 2 because that's what came in the package, and only used half the seasoning in the list because I tasted the sauce before adding the additional seasoning and there was plenty of flavor, just needed about 1/4 tsp more salt. Delicious.

Used cayenne due to not having pepper flakes. Used 1.3lbs of filet chicken breasts. The fanning cut didn’t work well for me, since it was basically strips and cooked up fine. I used about 3/4 of a 17oz noodle bag. Made 6+ servings. And it was absolutely delicious. Both spouse and I had seconds. Will definitely do again. Also flavored with some slap ya mama spice and shaved Parmesan.

We used 2 chicken breasts and a box of penne. For 2 people, this definitely made enough for leftovers to have for lunch. We used way too much paprika but was able to balance it w/ some lime juice.

Added some southern spices- holy grail and Cajun seasoning. Turned out amazing.

Looks and tasted fantastic

Loved it. It was so tasty and full of flavour that I would definitely make it again

Super good! Modified it some. I added a block of cream cheese to the pasta noodles as they were cooking as well as two chicken bouillon cubes. Then combined it with the chicken and broccoli. Was super good especially with the little slap ya mama seasoning on it.

Works well even if you use mixed vegetables instead of just broccoli Would also recommend adding more garlic! Pretty good.

Very tasty. I also marinated mint in yoghurt and spices before cooking.

Cooked the chicken in yoghurt with a Mediterranean spice and herb mix, paprika, salt, pepper and plenty of garlic. Gave the sauce a creamier texture once all mixed in

The instructions turn this into a 3 pan operation, but just cook the chicken first and re use that pan for garlic/tomato sauce. Marinate the chicken and leave in the fridge while you prep.

It was okay - not quite as flavoursome as I was hoping for. I used extra tinned tomatoes also as it wasn’t quite enough sauce.

Good, but we felt like it was missing something - maybe it needed to be saucier? Can't put our finger on it. We took another person's suggestion and added another can of tomatoes and more garlic. Makes more than 4 servings. Took us about an 90 minutes to make total.

Less chilli & pepper, more salt

I added some extra seasoning to the chicken to give it a bit of taste (and spice) but otherwise the recipe was quick to make and delicious 😋 also removed cheese due to allergies

Easy to make, I halved the Italian seasoning and paprika as I thought it would be too much which I’m glad I did. Also added a chicken stock cube

Very good, chicken would've burned if I did the times in the instructions. Chicken one side 3 minutes on one side and 2 minutes on the other on 8.5 electric stove large burner. Need more water or chicken broth Give it even more garlic

My first meal I ever cooked. Tasted great and super beginner friendly

I used a pound of pasta so it needed more sauce. Could use more flavor

I used 400gm of tomato instead of 300 In instructions make sure all ingredients are all there I had to go back to see how much to put in easy to make and will make again

Needs more sauce, good recipe though! Next time I'm adding another can of tomatoes and some more puree.

Absolutely amazing!! next time i’ll add less of the italian seasoning it was a bit too strong for my taste and add more garlic. The sauce was too thick so I had to add bit of the pasta water and then it was perfect!! 🥰

I used Chickapea pasta - pasta made out of chick peas to make it that much more healthier. Yummy.

This took much longer than expected. An hour and thirty minutes. I roasted the broccoli and added onion, roasted the chicken separately. I also added almost a can of chicken broth and extra paste. I think without it the dish would have been way too dry. Next time I might add a can of sauce.

Added more chilli flakes to give it more spice

YUM! A couple of commenters said that it was bland. But I have NO IDEA what they're talking about because this is PACKED with amazing flavor! For a boost, you know, because I was expecting it to be bland, I roasted the broccoli & chicken in the oven while I made the sauce and boiled the pasta. Yes, as commented, this does make several dirty dishes. HOWEVER, they are worth it, and that's what dishwashers are for! OH! I DID add about 1/4 cup of chicken broth at the very end to stretch the sauce just a tad. I would recommend buying an extra can of tomatoes. I think that would send this recipe over the edge! ❤️

Made a LOT of leftovers. Could easily half the recipe

Turned out really good, I made my broccoli in the oven with some lemon and salt instead of boiling it and added some onion to the sauce instead of spinach

Tasty but I did red onions instead of broccoli and added a tiny bit of sugar to balance out the acidity of the tomatoes.

Being greedy had a whole breast each! Used spelt fusilli to add more fibre.

Was too plain and just okay for us. Won't be making again.

Hab es mit gefrorenen spinat gemacht, weil kein Brokkoli da. Hab fast 2 Dosen Tomaten verwendet, weil sonst zu wenig soße...war sehr lecker. Zuviel gegessen, 2 ganze Teller ( hab auch mehr Nudeln gekocht (ca 300-350 g) für 2 Personen

This was perfect! I used five basil leaves and ended up having to cook the chicken a little bit longer in order for it to cook in the middle.

Swapped spinach for leeks

Little more salt next time but great

So, I don't have a griddle or a grill so I just butterflied and baked the chicken at 350 for 30 min instead.

I'd love to try some of your recipes... some look really good. But you cannot PIN them or Import them into a Recipe App like AnyList, so saving them other than in here doesn't work. So, for that, I'll have to look elsewhere... shame it doesn't play with others.

Didnt really have any defined flavours and was just bland, but with a few other spices or addition of something else I'm sure it would taste amazing!

Not enough sauce but it had plenty of flavor.

Great healthy dinner! I would rate it a 7 out of 10. It was easy to make and we substituted dried basil for lack of fresh and added a packet of stevia to cut down on the acidity of the tomatoes. We added a few pinches of red pepper flakes to give it a spicy kick. Made lots of left overs. We used a 4 quart pan and almost didn't have enough room for the final combining step.

This was absolutely delicious! It had way more flavor than o anticipated. Even the toddler gave it a thumbs up! 😂

I didn't have fresh basil so I just added dried basil into the sauce. Really good! Even my kids liked it.

Not enough sauce and was quite bland

I didn't bother with cooking the chicken and then cutting it. I diced it and tossed it in the spices before cooking it in olive oil. Otherwise I followed the recipe, and it turned out pretty good.

We'd definitely make this again and could easily be a vegetarian dish if you wanted it to be!

Delicious. I will make this again. Added some tomato sauce for more

I wasn't sure why people were saying this was bland with all the spices that it has, but it was bland. I'll make it again but will tweak the recipe

Really nice

Ur kitchen will be a little messy but it is worthy because it is very delicious

Easy but a little bland. Suggest adding some spice to perk it up.

Cooking the chicken set off the smoke alarms throughout the house. Next time be aware and maybe grill outside instead.

Very fast simple and delicious. Defenetly making again. :D

It was really good! I added a little honey and it was perfect 😍

This was ok. I made it exactly as directed except I swapped out the broccoli for cauliflower since that was what I had on hand. It needed a little more flavor.

Did not like the sauce at all. Luckily was able to which to chicken alfredo

I need a bigger pan

This one was a hit at my house my husband even ate some for lunch the next day and he never eats leftovers...I didn't have the puree or the right noodles so i used a different kind but still came out good.

Held back on the salt and pepper...but will stick to the recipe next time. Also would add more chilli flakes...but I like spice. But a pinch was not enough. Liked the sauce. I liked the broccoli but cut it into small florets. Also used rigatoni...but that's all I had. Worked for me.

Could do without the broccoli, I don’t feel red sauce and broccoli were the best mix. Also required the use of three pots. Otherwise pretty good!

Cursed recipe?? I ate this pasta dish and then a man came up to me and said ‘you missed your jury duty and will have to pay a fine’ I also used like 3 pots which isn’t great

This was soooo good! Everybody said so. I asked if I should make this again and my husband replied "I hope so"! The only thing I ended up doing different was doubling the canned tomato! We love it.

Delicious 🔥

Nice and simple

Added some grated cheddar at the end and it was great.

I loved making this dish, because it still packs a delicious flavour punch, it’s just a little more guilt-free than your normal creamy chicken pasta recipe!
