Steam broccoli florets until just tender, about 3 minutes; set aside. Cook pasta in salted water about 1 minute less than directed; drain and put in bowl with 1 Tbsp olive oil and stir to combine.

Simmer until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Add chicken strips and any juices in bowl to sauce. Add freshly cooked pasta and steamed broccoli florets and toss until sauce coats mixture, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer pasta mixture to prepared baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup grated cheese over. Broil until just golden on top, about 3 minutes, and serve.
