Dave’s Marketplace Chicken & Broccoli Aioli

1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts

1 1/2 pounds small pasta shells

1 1/2 cups olive oil, divided use

1 pound fresh broccoli florets

8 garlic cloves, minced (about 1/4 cup)

1 tablespoon salt

2 teaspoons ground black pepper

1 tablespoon garlic powder

2 tablespoons onion powder

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Cook and then cut chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces.

Cook pasta, drain and rinse with cold water. Mix 1/2 cup olive oil into pasta.

Steam broccoli florets and rinse with cold water.

Sauté garlic in 1 cup olive oil, being very careful not to burn or scorch garlic. Let cool. This is important so that the oil will be infused with the garlic.

Combine chicken, pasta, broccoli, garlic and seasonings. Mix well. Serve.

Hint: A rotisserie chicken works great in this recipe.

Serves 6.
