Prep ingredients
Measuring Cups
Measuring Spoons
Cutting Board
Chef’s knife

Prepare vegetables before cutting raw chicken, then wash hands and clean the board and knife before handling ready-to-eat food. Use a 6-quart pasta pot and deep 5-quart sauté pan. Cut broccoli into bite-size florets, prepare garlic and Parmesan and cut chicken into 1-inch pieces.

Wash hands, the cutting board, and the knife after handling raw chicken to prevent cross-contamination.

Keep the knife blade angled away from your fingers while cutting chicken.
