Chicken and Asparagus Penne Pasta

1. 1

   Assemble all the ingredients.

2. 2

   Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until slightly firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.

3. 3

   While the pasta cooks, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and season with 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the chicken is browned and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes.

4. 4

   Move the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels.

5. 5

   Pour the chicken broth into the skillet. Add the asparagus, the garlic, and another pinch of garlic powder. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and steam until the asparagus is just tender, 5 to 10 minutes.

6. 6

   Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.

7. 7

   Transfer the drained penne to a large bowl. Pour the chicken mixture over it and mix until well combined. Let it rest for about 5 minutes.

8. 8

   Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, then sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
