Ingredients
  

2 cups rotini pasta

2 cups cooked chicken breast, shredded

3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

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

      Prepare Sauce: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and pepper. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.

        Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, broccoli, shredded chicken, and garlic cream sauce. Mix well until everything is evenly coated.

          Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with shredded mozzarella cheese and an additional sprinkle of Parmesan cheese if desired.

            Bake: Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Then, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.

              Garnish & Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve warm.
