  8. While the pasta cooks, stir in the chicken broth, basil, salt, pepper, and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese into the skillet with the vegetables.
  9. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet.
  10. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 4 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  11. Drain the cooked pasta and add it to a large serving bowl.
  12. Pour the chicken and vegetable mixture over the pasta and toss gently to combine.
  13. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
