Ingredients
- 8 ounces penne pasta (½ box)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast cubed
- 1½ cups heavy cream room temperature
- ¼ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (¼ stick)

- 1 cup broccoli florets
- ½ cup diced yellow onion
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 beefsteak tomatoes diced
Instructions
- Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add in the pasta and cook until al dente.
- While pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet or frying pan set over medium heat, and cook the chicken pieces through.
- Once chicken is fully cooked through, add in the cream, Parmesan cheese, butter, carrots, onion, broccoli, and seasonings.
- Stir on medium heat until the sauce begins to boil. Once it begins to boil, turn down the heat and let the sauce simmer uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Stir in the tomatoes, allowing them to simmer in the sauce for the last 5 minutes. The sauce will thicken as it simmers.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately over the cooked pasta.
