  1. Step 1) Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 2 minutes or until lightly browned (chicken will not be fully cooked at this point). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.

Add pasta and stir gently. Reduce heat to medium and cover pan with lid. Cook for 7 to 8 minutes, stirring once. Add chicken, broccoli, red bell pepper (if desired) and cream cheese; stirring to combine. Reduce heat to low, cover and continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is cooked through and vegetables are tender.
  3. Step 3) Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce has thickened. Serve immediately.
