Instructions

Season both sides of the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.

Now add 4 tablespoons of olive oil into a large skillet and bring the heat to medium-high. Then pan-fry both sides of the chicken breast until fully cooked. Then cut the chicken into cubes and set aside.

Next, add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter into the same skillet and bring it to medium heat. Then add 2-3 minced garlic cloves and stir for about 20 seconds or until the garlic becomes fragrant.

Now pour in 4 cups of heavy cream and let it come to a simmer. Once it's simmered, turn the heat off and stir in 1 1/2 cups of grated Parmesan cheese.

In the meantime, cook 1 lb of rotini pasta in a pot of salted boiling water. Once the pasta is cooked, pour pasta water into a bowl filled with 10 oz of broccoli florets. Quickly cover the bowl to let the broccoli steam for about 8-10 minutes.

Then add the pasta to the sauce. Once the broccoli is fork-tender, drain it and add it to the pasta along with the cut chicken. Serve warm with breadsticks and salad.
