- While pasta is cooking, in a large skillet or frying pan, add in olive oil and cook the chicken pieces.
- Once chicken is thoroughly cooked, add in cream, parmesan cheese, butter, carrots , onion, broccoli, and seasonings. Stir on medium heat until sauce begins to boil. Once it begins to boil, turn down the heat and let the sauce simmer, uncovered for 10 minutes.
- Stir in tomatoes, allowing them to simmer in the sauce for the last five minutes. Sauce will thicken as it simmers.
- Remove from heat and garnish with parsley.

Notes
- Take care not to overcook the chicken breast or it can become dry.
- You can easily swap in any veggies you have to this dish. Mushrooms and zucchini work great!
- Cook the pasta al-dente.
- You can use any type of pasta with this dish. I used penne, but spaghetti or shells will both work well.
