Method

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat.
  2. Dice the chicken breasts, season and add to the hot pan. Cook for 5 minutes until browned. Add the chopped tomatoes and dried chilli flakes, and simmer rapidly for 5 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through. Season to taste.
  3. Meanwhile, place a large pan of boiling water from the kettle over a high heat. When boiling again, add the fresh penne and cook for 1 minute. Add the broccoli florets and cook for 2 more minutes or until everything is al dente.
  4. Drain, return to the pan with the sauce and mix well. Divide among bowls and top with Parmesan shavings, if you like.
