chicken broccoli ziti mediterranean seasoning victoria gourmet recipe

A classic pasta and chicken meal that everyone loves - Chicken Broccoli Ziti. I find that most recipes are bland.  My recipe includes fresh garlic, white wine and Mediterranean Seasoning . My recipe delivers the pizzazz this dish has been missing. 


2 tablespoons olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
4 - 6 ounce boneless skinless chicken breasts, cubed
Kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup white wine
1 pound ziti or preferred pasta
4 cups broccoli, cut into bite size florets
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup parmesan cheese, grated, divided
