  • ¾ cup yellow onion, diced small
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Cheesy Sauce / Pasta / Broccoli

  • 3 cups spaghetti, cooked and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions 

  • Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet. Add thinly sliced garlic and diced onions. Sauté. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until cooked through.
  • In a second large non-stick skillet, add salted butter and AP flour. Whisk to form a roux. Once bubbly, slowly add the chicken bone broth, followed by the milk. Whisk until well combined. Add the grated parmesan cheese and shredded mozzarella / gruyere mix. Whisk until well combined.
