Servings: 2
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes

Ingredients:

- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup pasta of your choice (such as penne or fusilli)
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken broth

Instructions:

1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.

3. Add the chicken pieces to the skillet and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is browned and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

5. Add the broccoli florets to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.

6. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the broccoli is cooked but still bright green.

7. Add the cooked chicken back to the skillet, along with the cooked pasta. Stir to combine all the ingredients.

8. Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the top and stir until everything is well coated and heated through.

9. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot and enjoy!

Special Tips or Variations:

- Feel free to add extra vegetables like bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or spinach to boost the nutritional content.

- For a creamy version, stir in a splash of heavy cream or cream cheese at the end of cooking.

- You can customize the seasoning by adding paprika, dried herbs, or a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavor.
