I found this recipe online and tried it the other night. It turned out pretty good. For added flavor though I marinated the chicken in olive oil and some random seasonings, then I grilled it. YUM!
Creamy Chicken and Penne
8 oz uncooked multigrain penne pasta
1 ½ cups fresh or frozen small broccoli florets
1 cup fat free half and half
4 oz cream cheese
1tsp oregano leaves
1tsp rosemary leaves
1tsp thyme leaves
½ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp salt
1 ½ cup chopped cooked chicken breast
2tbs grated Parmesan or Asiago cheese
1. Cook pasta in large saucepan as directed on package, adding broccoli during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain well.
2. Meanwhile, bring half-and-half to simmer in small saucepan on medium heat. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add cream cheese, oregano, rosemary, thyme, garlic powder and sea salt; whisk until cheese is melted and sauce is well blended. Add chicken; simmer until heated through.
3. Place pasta and broccoli in large serving bowl. Spoon sauce evenly over pasta mixture. Toss gently to coat well. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and serve immediately.
