Instructions

Cook rotini pasta according to package directions in salted boiling water. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add broccoli florets. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 2 tablespoons of butter. Add chicken pieces seasoned with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
Remove chicken from the skillet and add minced garlic and Italian seasoning; sauté briefly until fragrant.
In a separate saucepan, melt remaining butter, then pour in heavy cream and simmer gently for about 5 minutes until slightly thickened. Whisk in parmesan cheese until smooth.
Combine cooked pasta, broccoli, and chicken into the creamy sauce; toss gently to coat evenly. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve garnished with chopped parsley.
