Instructions
Creating this Creamy Rotisserie Chicken Broccoli Pasta is straightforward. Follow these simple steps:
1. Cook Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Add the broccoli florets to the pot during the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Garlic: In the same pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add Chicken and Broth: Stir in the shredded rotisserie chicken and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer.
4. Create Creamy Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add the Italian seasoning. Stir to combine, and let it cook for about 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta and broccoli back to the pot. Toss to coat everything evenly in the creamy sauce.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
