Ingredients
  

8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine works great)

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced

2 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

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

    Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil. Add the diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.

      Add Garlic: Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

        Make the Cream Sauce: Lower the heat and pour the heavy cream into the skillet. Stir well, scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan. Allow the mixture to simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.

          Combine Everything: Add the cooked pasta and broccoli to the skillet, mixing well to coat everything in the creamy sauce. Sprinkle in the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to stir until the cheese melts and the sauce is evenly distributed. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.

            Serve: Plate the pasta and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy your delicious, creamy chicken broccoli pasta!
