📝 Ingredients:

12 oz penne pasta

Salt & black pepper, to taste

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp Italian seasoning

2 tbsp olive oil, divided

2 cups broccoli florets

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tbsp chopped parsley (for garnish)

🔥 Instructions:

Roast the Broccoli:
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Toss broccoli florets with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast for 15–20 minutes until tender and slightly crisp.

Cook the Pasta:
Boil penne in salted water until al dente. Drain and set aside, reserving ½ cup pasta water.

Sear the Chicken:
Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Make the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth; simmer 2–3 minutes. Add Parmesan and whisk until smooth and creamy.

Combine Everything:
Add pasta, roasted broccoli, and chicken to the sauce. Toss well, adding a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen.

Finish & Serve:
Garnish with parsley and extra Parmesan. Serve hot and dig in!
