This one-pot chicken and pasta dish makes a fantastic weeknight dinner. It's rich, creamy, and satisfying in every way. Start by boiling penne or your favorite pasta until tender, then add broccoli and simmer until both are cooked to perfection. Sauté seasoned chicken in the same pot until golden brown, then set aside and cook garlic in butter before adding cream and seasonings to create a luscious sauce. Stir in Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens, then return the cooked chicken, pasta, and broccoli to the pot, mixing until well combined. Serve with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese or red chili flakes for an extra kick. Enjoy this comforting dish!
