Easy and Delicious Skillet Chicken, Broccoli and Pasta Dinner
"This chicken and pasta skillet dinner is perfect for a weeknight dinner, and has become part of our regular rotation. Chicken pieces are cooked in a skillet, broccoli and pasta is added. The creamy sauce has plenty of garlic, onion and red pepper flakes. Asiago cheese, a little heavy cream and final drizzle of lemon juice gives the entire dish a delicious silky sauce...."
