  1. 1

    Cook the Chicken

    Line a plate with a paper towel.

    Pat diced chicken dry, and season all over with 1/4 tsp. salt and a pinch of pepper. Gently combine chicken and cornstarch in a mixing bowl until chicken is completely coated.

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 Tbsp. olive oil and chicken to hot pan. Stir occasionally until browned, crispy, and chicken reaches a minimum internal temperature of 165 degrees, 6-8 minutes.

    Remove chicken to towel-lined plate.

    While chicken cooks, cook vegetables.

    Cook the Vegetables

    Cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces.

    Trim and thinly slice green onions on an angle, keeping white and green portions separate.

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil. Add broccoli and stir occasionally, 3 minutes.

    Add white portions of green onions and stir occasionally until broccoli is almost tender, 3-4 minutes.

    Remove broccoli and white portions of green onions to a plate. Keep pan over medium heat.

  3. 3

    Make the Sauce

    Add cream base, cheddar cheese, 1/4 tsp. salt, and a pinch of pepper to hot pan. Bring to a boil.

    Once boiling, stir until smooth, 2-3 minutes.

    Stir in pasta and cook until warmed through, 1-2 minutes.
