Ingredients

  • 2 cups unsalted chicken broth

  • 2 cups water

  • 8 ounces whole-grain small shell pasta

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 tablespoon unsalted tomato paste

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

  • 12 ounces broccoli florets, cut into bite-size pieces

  • 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breast

  • ¾ cup whole-milk plain Greek yogurt

  • ¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

Directions

  1. Combine broth, water, pasta, oil, Worcestershire, tomato paste, garlic, pepper and salt in a large pot or high-sided skillet. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Add broccoli; cook, stirring often to prevent the pasta from sticking, until the pasta is al dente, the broccoli is tender and the sauce is creamy, 7 to 8 minutes.

  2. Remove from heat, and stir in chicken, yogurt, Parmesan and dill.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
