Creamy Chicken and Cumin Pasta

At the end of a busy week, a comforting meal and a soft palette of colors can turn your kitchen into a quiet spring oasis. This recipe for pasta made creamy with mascarpone and delicious grilled chicken breasts adds broccoli and cumin for pops of colors and nutritional benefits – pleasing for the body and the eyes!

By preparing our chicken breasts at low heat and without adding any oil, water or fats to the pan during the cooking process we were able to retain all the nutritive value, natural flavors and aromas of the cutlets with fewer calories and no toxic substances produced. We were also able to steam cook our broccoli without any water in Zepter Masterpiece Cookware, thanks to specially designed lids that work by forming a water seal around the pots edge and the lid itself, hermetically closing the pot and allowing foods to cook in their own juices.  

Striking the ideal balance between delicious and nutritious in under 30 minutes!
