We tried this for dinner and found it quite bland, even doing as other reviewers suggested and using the chilli flakes. It was just ok. Sorry.

    I just made this and it is really really close to the original! You do have to put in the red pepper flakes to give it an authentic taste because it is in the original. I also used shell pasta because I was trying to get as close as possible to the orriechiete pasta that is in the original dish and that was the closest pasta I had. The instructions did not say when to put in the butter, so I put it in with the simmering garlic. Very good, worth a try for sure! I really enjoyed this dish! Thanks for sharing!

    I appreciate the effort put forth to post this recipe. I typically like to start with something positive prior to any negative feedback. I apologize in advance if my review comes across harsh, it isn't my intent. Unfortunately I was really dissapointed in this recipe. My husband and I order Chicken Con Broccoli every time we go to the Olive Garden. I do not feel like this was even remotely close to it. I feel the instructions should of elaborated more then "cook the broccoli". I boiled my fresh broccoli and feel that steaming would of been a better choice for appearance and texture. Secondly, the cooking of the chicken....if my memory serves me right the chicken is thinly slice chicken and has a light breading of sorts on it. In the directions it suggested chopping it up after being cooked and tossed with everything else .The selling points for me and this dish has always been the orrcheta pasta and lightly breaded chicken. This had neither of them. I do not recommend this recipe if you are looking for a copycat recipe.
