Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go
  1. Boil the water

    Fill the saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over high heat. Add a pinch of salt.

  2. Cook the pasta

    Drop the pasta into the boiling water and let it cook for 8 minutes over medium heat. Drain in the colander without rinsing.

  3. Prep the chicken

    Cut the chicken breast into 2 cm cubes on the cutting board. Season lightly with salt and pepper.

    Tip · Cut the chicken into same-size cubes so it cooks evenly.
  4. Cook the chicken

    Heat the oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken cubes and brown them for 5 minutes, stirring.

  5. Add the broccoli

    Cut the broccoli into small florets. Add them to the skillet with the chicken and cook for 3 minutes over high heat.

  6. Toss with the pasta

    Add the drained pasta to the skillet. Add the crème fraîche and mix well over low heat.

    Tip · If the sauce is too thick, add a little pasta water to loosen it.
  7. Adjust the seasoning

    Taste and adjust the salt or pepper if needed. Let it warm for 1 more minute so everything comes together.
