Instructions

Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add diced chicken and cook until browned and cooked through.
Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then add pasta. Stir to combine.
Bring to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer, and cover. Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add broccoli florets and continue cooking uncovered for 5–7 minutes until pasta is al dente and broccoli is tender.
Stir in Parmesan cheese and butter (if using) until melted and the sauce is creamy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm.
