Any tubular-shaped pasta, such as penne or ziti, will work fine in this dish, and, to make it vegetarian, just omit the chicken and increase the broccoli to 3 cups.

I pretty much doubled this recipe! I used chicken tenders and cooked them on top of the stove with a little olive oil! I followed the recipe except when the chicken was half way done cooking I added 1 diced onion and the bell pepper (I used 2 green bell peppers)and cooked it with the chicken! This meal is so good! The only thing bad is I almost made myself sick cause I couldnt quit eating it! REALLY!
