"This is one of my favorite easy recipes, it's chicken and bow-tie pasta with a delicious creamy white cream sauce. If you like you can cube the chicken after simmering in the water or just leave it whole."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Place chicken in a saucepan, and add water to cover. Boil 20 minutes. Allow to cool, then pull meat into shreds.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.
Step 3
In a large skillet over medium-high heat combine chicken broth, red pepper, garlic, broccoli, salt and pepper. Cover, and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, until broccoli is crisp-tender. Drain about half of the broth. Stir in cream cheese until smooth. Mix in chicken and pasta until evenly coated. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
