Step-by-Step Preparation
1. Cook the Pasta
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. In the last two minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the same pot. Drain both together and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken
In a skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and sauté until lightly golden and heated through. Remove and keep warm.
3. Make the Creamy Sauce
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the flour and whisk for a minute to create a smooth paste. Slowly pour in the milk and cream, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens.
4. Add the Flavor
Stir in the Parmesan cheese, nutmeg (if using), and more salt and pepper to taste. The sauce should be rich and creamy.
5. Combine Everything
Add the cooked pasta, broccoli, and chicken to the skillet. Toss everything gently until well coated with the creamy sauce. Allow it to heat through for 1–2 minutes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Delight Pasta hot, topped with an extra sprinkle of Parmesan and a dash of freshly ground pepper. Pair it with garlic bread and a simple green salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Perfection
Use fresh broccoli for a crisp texture and vibrant color.
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for part of the cream.

This dish reheats beautifully—just add a splash of milk when warming it up.
