Steps

How to make it

Prep 8 min · Cook 16 min

Cut chicken into strips; season lightly with salt and pepper. Cut broccoli into florets; boil pasta until al dente.
Pan-fry chicken in oil until golden and cooked through; set aside.
In the same pan, sauté garlic and broccoli until bright; add pasta, chicken, and a splash of pasta water; toss until coated.

Tips & storage

Make it easier

Keep chicken strips thin so they cook quickly.

Best fresh; refrigerated pasta softens— not ideal for bento.
