Recipe by:

Chicken and broccoli make a delicious pairing in a tomato-garlic sauce. Penne or shells work well, as they soak up the sauce.

Easy
Followed recipe to the letter but it turned out rather bland! I seasoned it well but it tasted like it was lacking something. As I'm the first to review, I don't want to put off others trying it as it was very easy to put together. So c'mon cooks try it and see what you think. As I said I made it exactly as instructed.
