8 oz. dry pasta (I prefer penne or rotini)

1/2 c. butter

1/2 c. half and half

1 c. grated parmesan cheese

1 c. frozen broccoli

1 c. cooked chicken

1 tbsp. dried parsley flakes

1/2 tsp. salt

dash of pepper

garlic and onion powder to taste

Cook noodles and broccoli together.  Heat butter and half and half in a 1-qt saucepan over low heat until butter is melted.  Stir in remaining ingredients; keep warm over low heat.  Pour sauce over hot noodles and broccoli stirring gently until noodles are well coated.  May top with a light sprinkle of parmesan cheese, if desired.
