Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for about 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.

While the chicken is resting, steam broccoli florets for about 4-5 minutes until bright green and slightly tender.

In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until smooth.

Cook pasta according to package directions. In the skillet, combine pasta, sliced chicken, and steamed broccoli. Toss together and serve hot.
