Delicious pasta with greens

Steps
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Cook the pasta to al dente. When done, remove the pasta, but save the pasta water.
- Roast the broccoli: drizzle olive oil, salt, pepper over broccoli. Seperate evenly onto large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the chicken breasts across to make 4 thinner chicken breasts.
- Mix all chicken seasoning ingredients well, then sprinkle evenly over both sides of chicken breasts.
- Shread the mozzarella, set aside.
- Set a large skillet to medium/medium-high heat. Place chicken onto pan and let cook for 5 minutes. Flip, cook another 5 minutes.
- Remove chicken from pan and remove pan from heat, but do not clean. Slice the chicken into bite sized cubes while the pan cools slightly. (Note: You don't want the pan to cool completely, just to a simmer level, so that the garlic does not burn)
- Set the pan back on to medium-low heat, and add the white wine and minced garlic. Swirl to deglaze, about 30 seconds.
- Add the butter, heavy cream, mozzarella. Continuously stir till all combined. Spoon in pasta water as needed if the sauce is too thick.
- Add pasta, mix to combine with sauce.
- Add broccoli and chicken.
- Sprinkle parsley on top.
