3. – 2 cups broccoli florets
4. – 3 garlic cloves, minced
5. – 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

11. – Red chili flakes (optional)
12. – Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Details to follow:

Begin with cooking the chicken:

• – In a large skillet, bring one tablespoon of olive oil to a temperature of medium. To the pan, add the chicken, season it with salt and pepper, and continue to cook it until it is golden brown and complete. Take the food out of the skillet and set it aside.

The broccoli should be sautéed.

• The broccoli florets should be sautéed in the same skillet with one tablespoon of olive oil for approximately three minutes, or until they are crisp-tender. Take out and put to the side along with the chicken.

3. Put together the sauce by:

• The skillet should be seasoned with butter and garlic. Sauté till the aroma rises. After stirring in the chicken broth and heavy cream, allow the mixture to slow down for two minutes. Once the Parmesan cheese has been sprinkled in, mix it until it has melted.

4. Combine the following:

• The pasta, chicken, and broccoli that have been cooked should be added back into the skillet. The creamy sauce should be used to coat everything, so toss it. In the event that you so desire, adjust the seasoning by adding salt, pepper, and red chili flakes.

To finish, garnish and serve:

• This dish should be garnished with more Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley. Serve when still heated.
