Servings: persons

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breast, sliced into 1-inch pieces
salt and pepper, dash
3 tablespoons butter
1 minced onion
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 garlic cloves, minced
8 ounces penne
2 1/2 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 lbs broccoli florets, cut into one inch pieces

Sprinkle the penne (uncooked) evenly into the skillet. Pour the broth and cream over the ziti. Cover and bring to a boil, about 5 minutes.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the broccoli. Cover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the pasta begins to soften and the broccoli turns bright green, about 8 minutes.
5
Stir in the chicken and any accumulated juices. Cover and continue to simmer until the chicken is cooked through, about 3 minutes.
6
Stir in the remaining 1 tbsp butter and the parmesan. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
