• Transfer the chicken to a clean bowl and set aside.
• Add the remaining tablespoon of oil, onion, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to the skillet.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat and cook, stirring often, until the onion is softened, 2 to 5 minutes.
• Stir in the minced garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
• Add the ziti, 2 cups of the water, and the broth.
• Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until the liquid is very thick and syrupy and almost completely absorbed, 12 to 15 minutes.
• Add the broccoli and the remaining 3/4 cup water.
• Cover, reduce the heat to medium, and cook until the broccoli turns bright green and is almost tender, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Uncover and return the heat to high.
• Stir in the cream, Asiago cheese, and reserved chicken with any accumulated juices and continue to simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is thickened and the chicken is cooked and heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.

SKILLET ZITI WITH CHICKEN & BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper.
• Melt 1 tbs butter in 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until it is lightly browned but not fully cooked, about 4 minutes. Transfer chicken to a bowl.
• Add 1 more tbs butter, onion, red pepper flakes, oregano, & 1/2 tsp salt to the skillet. Cook until the onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 15 seconds.
• Sprinkle the ziti evenly into the skillet. Pour the broth and milk over the ziti. Cover and bring to a simmer about 5-10 minutes or till al dente (original recipe advised to cook pasta for only two minutes, I found this to be not long enough).
• Reduce heat to medium low and stir in the broccoli and roasted red peppers. Cover and continue to simmer, stirring occasionally, until the past begins to soften and the broccoli turns bright green, about 8 minutes. (If the sauce reduces too much you could add more milk and broth).

• Stir in the remaining 1 tbs butter, Parmesan, and lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
