Broccoli, chicken and pasta.  Any meal I make with these three favorites is going to be a hit in this house.  Luckily, they’re also key ingredients for quick, weeknight meals.

For this recipe, I wanted to keep the flavors simple, but vibrant.  Black pepper is so common, we sometimes forget that it can stand on it’s own.  I didn’t want this to be too peppery for the kids, so I went a little lighter than if it had just been Jim and I eating.

Here’s what you’ll need to make Garlic Pepper Chicken and Broccoli with Parmesan Pasta.  (Keep reading to enter the giveaway!)

  • I’ve just recently started eating cooked broccoli with dishes, so I’m always looking for more recipes to try it in.

    So far my favorite way to eat it is steamed with a little garlic.

  • I used some broccoli in a chefs salad I made last week. We are out now & my little store in my little town (a theme going on here!) hasn’t got any fresh enough for me to buy, hoping there will be some in my Bountiful Basket tomorrow! I hate most of the frozen broccoli, most of the time it is 3/4 stalk. My favorite veggie!
