Integral Pasta With Chicken And Vegetables Recipe

Step 1

Fill a large pot with water, add a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add the integral pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add diced chicken breast and cook until it's no longer pink inside. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add sliced bell peppers, zucchini, and broccoli florets. Sauté the vegetables for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender-crisp.

Step 4

Return the chicken to the skillet with the vegetables. Add minced garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian herbs to taste.

Step 5

Add the cooked integral pasta to the skillet and toss everything together gently, ensuring the pasta, chicken, and vegetables are well mixed. If desired, add a splash of lemon juice for extra flavor.

Step 6

Serve the pasta warm, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley, if preferred.
