I made this meal for my family and they praised me for hours!!! Cooking is not about praise, its about love. But it helps when your family loves a meal so much they cannot stop talking about how much they love it.
This meal was very quick. About 15 minutes for the chicken in the oven, and 30 minutes for the carrot fries. It was simple to put together and supremely delicious and nourishing. I guarantee this will be on your weekly rotation!!

Instructions
Roast Chicken:
Either use a store bought roasted chicken or roast your own. I often roast mine the day before and save 2 cups of chicken (and broth!) for this pasta.
Use about 2 cups of chicken. Shred it and Set aside.
Pasta & Broccoli:
Boil water with salt, add pasta and cook according to the package
When there is 3 to 5 minutes left to cook and add the broccoli to the water. drain / strain it together. Rinse under cold water and set aside.
Sauce:
In a wok or deep fry pan add a tablespoon of coconut oil the finely and evenly diced onions, carrots, celery. Let cook down and simmer together for about 10 minute. Stir often. Keep the temperature medium to low.
Add fresh minced garlic for a few minutes until nice and fragrant.
Set aside some for serving later.
To those cooked aromatics, add your chicken!
mix it all together. Let it mix together for 5 minutes stirring often.
Add it to a bowl and set aside.
In that same pan add garlic +1 tbsp coconut oil + red pepper flakes. Let cook together until fragrant, about 3 minutes
Add bone broth + Tamari sauce + Lemon. Let come to a boil then simmer.
Serving:
Add a few scoops of pasta + broccoli mixture to pasta bowls. Add those extra caramelized veggies + chicken all over the top. Add Lemon drizzle or soya sauce, Sprinkle some cheese and chives and serve with love.
Saving Money:
Buy your chicken from a quality source. It costs a bit more up front, but is worth it for the increased wellness for self, animals and the environment. We buy all our meat from @ButcherBox . Its high quality meat that is pastured, loved and delicious.
Quick Tips & Tools:
Tools:
1 large pot, 1 large fry pan or wok, 1 bowl for onions/chicken/sauce, wooden spoon, knife, cutting board
Tips:
Make sure you take all your ingredients out on the counter before you begin to ensure that you are not running around the kitchen like a chicken with your head cut off. No pun intended 😉
Saving Time:
Make double of this pasta. The next day, add about 1/4 cup of that bone broth in the pan and the pasta. The pasta will absorb the bone broth bringing it back to life, then it will crisp up a bit on the pan. All the flavors enhance too. Leftovers are the best. A little tamari drizzle before you eat, yum!
