Boil the penne pasta according to package instructions until al dente, adding the broccoli florets in the last 5 minutes. Drain and set aside.
CHICKEN

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Season the bite-sized chicken pieces with salt and black pepper, then add to the skillet. Cook until no longer pink in the center and lightly browned, about 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

Toss the cooked penne pasta in the sauce, ensuring each piece is generously coated. Serve hot and enjoy this creamy delight.
