Ingredients
  

2 cups pasta (penne or fusilli work great)

1 lb chicken breast, diced

2 cups broccoli florets

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Add broccoli florets to the boiling pasta for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5–7 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink.

      Add Garlic: Once the chicken is done, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Make Cream Sauce: Reduce heat to low and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine. Allow the cream to heat through, then stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

          Combine: Add the drained pasta and broccoli mixture to the skillet, tossing gently until everything is thoroughly coated in the creamy sauce.

            Serve: Divide the creamy chicken broccoli pasta into serving bowls. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
