Creamy Chicken Broccoli Pasta (Gluten Free)
In my pre-Celiac days, I spent years working at an Italian chain called Bertucci’s. It’s been decades since, but I still find myself craving their rigatoni with broccoli and chicken. I decided to create my own version, and as soon as I took that first bite, I was instantly transported back. It was so fun—and surprisingly easy—to whip up. And of course, this version is fully gluten free!

- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, add your pasta, and cook according to package instructions. In the last 4-5 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli so it softens with the pasta. Once done, drain and set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, warm the oil. Add the cubed chicken breast, seasoning with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is fully cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the garlic alfredo sauce, chicken broth, and a squeeze of lemon. Stir and bring everything to a gentle simmer over medium-low heat, letting it cook for about 5 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Return the chicken, pasta, and broccoli to the skillet, giving everything a gentle toss to coat in the sauce. For a bit of heat, sprinkle with crushed red pepper if desired.
- Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve warm and enjoy!
