Creamy Chicken & Broccoli Pasta Bake

Follow cooking instructions on pasta of choice- ensure to leave it al dente as it will continue to cook & soften in the pan + oven. Bring a skillet to medium/ high heat, add olive oil and sear chicken breasts until brown ~5 mins. Season with sea salt and pepper, once seared remove from the pan and set aside. Add butter and chili flakes and basil to the pan, collect those crispy bits and chicken drippings. Add shallots and sauté until softened and fragrant- then add cream, stir in 1 cup Parmesan cheese, broccoli, add the chicken back into the pan, add cooked pasta and your greens. Top with the remaining cup of Parmesan, the Gruyère or cheese of choice and broil on high for 3-5 mins until golden brown and bubbling. If adding pesto- add it towards the end and mix before serving. Enjoy every bite!
