Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Once it reaches a full boil, add the pasta and continue to boil just until the pasta is tender, but still slightly firm in the center (7-8 minutes). Once the pasta is tender, add the frozen broccoli florets to the water with the pasta and continue to cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until the broccoli is tender. Drain the pasta and broccoli in a colander.

This was my first recipe from BudgetBytes and I absolutely loved it! It will definetly be hard to top. I seasoned my chicken with salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder and it came out wonderfully! My boyfriend loved it, it heats up great, we will be enjoying this meal more in the future.
Tastes great! I did half the cream cheese recommendation and added some parmesan cheese.
Fantastic recipe! This one is going in my rotation.
My youngest said it was "bussin" (which means delicious), and my middle one said it was "good, make it again". My oldest is off at university so I froze some leftovers to bring to her the next time I see her. My husband is keto, so he tried the sauce with chicken and said, "that's tasty!". That's a huge win that EVERYONE agreed this meal is a keeper. Thanks for a great recipe!
Super delicious and flavorful!
I used Banza shells for extra protein and hot Italian sausage instead of chicken, it was so yummy!
I so did not want to cook today but real life said " you have to eat". I had frozen cooked & shredded chicken in the freezer, fresh baby spinach on its last legs, frozen peas, about 3 tablespoons of cream cheese, no broccoli, and a 1/4 jar of pesto. I added some red pepper flakes & a squeeze of lemon juice and we had a fabulous easy & quick meal! Thank you for making this so easy!
Super easy and delicious! I will make again and incorpore mushrooms and might sub in shrimp for the chicken.
