Broccoli Chicken Pasta

This was a really easy, and fairly healthy meal.  If you make it with whole wheat pasta it would be perfect! :)  We all really liked it.  I didn't want to cook the chicken, so we just got some rotisserie chicken already cooked and chopped it up.  Yay!  You could also use left over chicken - I usually cook a whole bunch of chicken breasts at one time, shred them and freeze or refrigerate for later.



Ingredients:
2 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1 box (16 oz) Farfalle pasta, or any other pasta
4 cups broccoli florets
4 TBS olive oil
2 TBS lemon juice
2 TBS parmesan cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
Salad Supreme, to taste (this adds flavor, otherwise it is pretty bland)

Directions:
Cook and chop chicken, set aside.  Cook pasta until almost done.  Drop broccoli into the water with the pasta and cook until broccoli is crisp tender.  (It only takes a couple minutes if you use fresh broccoli.)  Drain pasta and broccoli.

Toss all ingredients together, add salt and pepper and Salad Supreme, to taste.

Super fast and easy dinner!
