Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add chicken and broccoli to the skillet and stir until heated through.
Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add chicken broth gradually until desired consistency.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and paprika. Cook for 2–3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Add cooked pasta and toss everything together until well coated in creamy sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan before serving.
💡 Tips
For extra flavor, sauté mushrooms or onions along with the garlic.
Use rotisserie chicken for a super quick version.
Sprinkle mozzarella on top and broil for 1–2 minutes for a bubbly, cheesy finish.
If you want, I can also give you a one-pot creamy chicken and broccoli pasta recipe — no draining, less cleanup, and just as delicious. Would you like me to share that version?
