  1. Prep
    1. Cut the broccoli into small florets, mince the garlic, and slice the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces. Season the chicken with half the salt and the black pepper. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it generously with the remaining salt.
    2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts, 1 piece Broccoli head, 3 clove Garlic, 1 tsp Salt, 0.5 tsp Black pepper
  2. 2. Cook the penne in the boiling water until 1-2 minutes shy of the package time, adding the broccoli florets for the final 2 minutes. Reserve 1 cup of starchy pasta water, then drain without rinsing.
    12 oz Penne pasta, 1 piece Broccoli head
  3. Chicken and Sauce
    3. Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large deep skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken in a single layer for 5-6 minutes, turning once, until golden and cooked through at 74°C (165°F). Transfer to a plate.
    2 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts, 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
  4. 4. Reduce the heat to medium and add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the same skillet. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then pour in the white wine and scrape up the browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half.
    3 clove Garlic, 0.2 cup Dry white wine, 0.2 tsp Red pepper flakes
  5. 5. Add the chicken stock and heavy cream and simmer gently for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Lower the heat and stir in the Parmigiano-Reggiano until melted and smooth.
    0.5 cup Low-sodium chicken stock, 0.5 cup Heavy cream, 0.8 cup Parmigiano-Reggiano, finely grated
  6. Toss and Serve
    6. Add the drained pasta, broccoli, and chicken to the skillet. Toss over medium heat for 1-2 minutes, adding splashes of reserved pasta water until the sauce lightly coats the pasta without pooling.
  7. 7. Remove from the heat and squeeze in the lemon juice to brighten the sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning, then tear the basil over the top and serve immediately.
    0.5 piece Lemon, 0.2 cup Fresh basil (garnish)
