Instructions
Step 1: Cook the penne pasta according to package instructions. In the last 2 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Drain and set aside.
Step 2: While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Sear the chicken for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and let rest before slicing.
Step 3: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
Step 5: Add the drained pasta and broccoli to the skillet, tossing to coat with the sauce. Slice the chicken and place it on top of the pasta.
Step 6: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve immediately.
