📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat oven to 200 degrees. In a large pot, bring 4 quarts water and 1 tablespoon salt to boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about ⏱️ 9 minutes. Remove pasta and reserve pasta cooking water in the pot.
2
Return pasta cooking water to boil. Add broccoli and blanch until just tender and bright green, about 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes. Immediately drain and plunge in to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking and set the color.
3
Meanwhile, sprinkle both sides of the chicken generously with cajun seasoning. In large skillet, heat oil until shimmering.
4
Add chicken to skillet in a single layer and cook, flipping once, until the temperature on an internal thermometer reaches 165 degrees, about ⏱️ 5 minutes on each side. Transfer to clean baking sheet or oven-safe plate, cover with aluminum foil, and place in oven to keep warm.
5
Clean skillet if desired. Return skillet to stove and melt butter until foaming over medium-high heat. Stir in garlic until fragrant, about ⏱️ 30 seconds.

6
Whisk in wine to deglaze the pan. Simmer until sauce has reduced by half, about ⏱️ 2 minutes (your pan is hot at this point so it should go pretty quickly).
7
Whisk in cream and simmer until slightly thickened, about ⏱️ 2 minutes. Fold in parmesan cheese. Season to taste with salt and pepper (I like 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper).
8
Return pasta to skillet and toss gently to coat. In skillet or in a large warmed bowl, pile broccoli on top of pasta, top with chicken, and garnish with more parmesan cheese.
