But I know we need more so we don’t get bored! I think that’s the secret of consistent weight loss or maintain.
Variety is the spice of life they say!
This time I wanted a quick easy and healthy dish to add for a little variety, another string to my bow on a busy weeknight. And I found it with this dish.
Its very simple and easy (as always) but also very tasty! I’m sure the whole family will like it….
I love a super simple recipes for midweek and my go to to be honest is normally pasta – yours?
So more about my Healthy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta
It really is simply, literally just garlic, slice chicken breast fillet with broccoli florets in a frying pan with fry light!
Mushrooms are then added and fried a little more, until the chicken is cooked and turning a lovely golden colour!
The pasta water and Cheese Triangles are added together with the chicken stock and finally the Parmesan.
Then all that’s left to do is to add the pasta and give it a good stir and serve!
Pasta Choice
I used the extra small Fusilli here, but there is no reason why you couldn’t use and pasta shape. I think it would work well with penne too
Broccoli nutrition
Broccoli is often touted as one of the healthiest vegetables. Its rich in vitamins K and C, a good source of folate (folic acid) and also provides potassium. And not forgetting of course a great source of fibre.
Vitamin C – builds collagen, which forms body tissue and bone, and helps cuts and wounds heal
So eat your broccoli guys
How To Serve Healthy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta
I served mine on its own with a side of cherry tomatoes.
Would also be nice with sweetcorn or a salad?
Or a portion of low Garlic Bread?
Interestingly I had the other portion cold for lunch the next day and it was delicious – perfect for a pack up for a desk lunch!
The Deets for Healthy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta
So all free apart from:
- 4 light Cheese Triangles (HA)
- 10g Parmesan – 1/2
It feeds 2 so I’d say 1/2 Healthy A and 1/2 Syn per portion – Ta Dah!!
So I really hope you enjoy this quick tasty dinner!

I made this using chicken left over from last nights meal. Really easy and quick to make. I will probably not add extra salt next time as the stock already had enough salt in it. Really tasty though and will definitely make it again

great to hear Lisa – thank you x

Cooked this for tea recently. I added some leeks to it as I had some needing to be used up. Delicious. My hubby scraped his plate and said, “You can make this again”. So simple and quick to make 😋😋
