Chicken and Bow Tie Pasta

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves

1 (12 ounce) package farfalle (bow tie) pasta

1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth

1 head broccoli, cut into florets

1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced

2 cloves garlic, minced

salt and pepper to taste

2 (8 ounce) containers chive and onion cream cheese

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Method:

Place chicken in a saucepan, and add water to cover. Boil 20 minutes. Allow to cool, then pull meat into shreds.

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta, and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, or until al dente; drain.

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. Stir in cream cheese until smooth. Mix in chicken and pasta until evenly coated. Garnish with Parmesan cheese.
