    How to Make One-Skillet Creamy Chicken, Ziti & Broccoli with Asiago

    1. Chicken Sauté

    Season chicken pieces with salt and pepper. In a 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat 1 tbsp of oil over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add chicken in a single layer, cooking for 1 minute undisturbed. Stir and cook until edges are lightly browned and chicken is mostly cooked through, about 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

    2. Aromatic Base

    Add the remaining oil and chopped onion to the skillet with 1/2 tsp salt. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until the onion is softened, about 2-5 minutes. Add minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, roughly 30 seconds.

    3. Pasta Incorporation

    Stir in ziti, 2 cups of water, and chicken broth. Boil over high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture thickens and pasta is nearly tender, about 12-15 minutes.

    4. Broccoli Addition

    Mix in broccoli, sun-dried tomatoes, and the remaining 3/4 cup water. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and cook until the broccoli is vibrant and almost tender, 3-5 minutes.

    5. Final Touches

    Uncover, increase heat to high and add cream, Asiago cheese, and reserved chicken with juices. Simmer until sauce thickens and chicken is fully cooked, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in lemon juice, and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
