Creamy, One-Pan Chicken & Broccoli Pasta

Follow cooking instructions on your pasta of choice, ensuring to leave it al dente as it will continue to cook and soften in the pan and oven. Bring a skillet to medium-high heat, add olive oil and sear chicken breasts until brown, about 5 minutes. Season with sea salt and pepper. Once seared, remove from the pan and set aside. Add butter, chili flakes, basil, and shallots to the pan, collect any crispy bits and chicken drippings, and sauté shallots until softened and fragrant. Then add cream, stir in 1 cup of Parmesan cheese, broccoli, add the chicken back into the pan, add the 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 minutes until golden brown and bubbling. If adding pesto, add it towards the end and mix before serving. Enjoy every bite!
