Chicken and Broccoli Pasta

This week's recipe is from All Recipes.com and was created by Gloria McShane.  I was looking for a healthy comfort food meal using ingredients I had on hand.  I took note of some of the comments on this recipe and "kicked it up a notch."  One of the cans of diced tomatoes had jalapenos in it and I also added a small can of diced green chiles.  Instead of penne pasta, I used Trader Joe's brown rice fusili (yum).  I also added a couple of pinches of my Italian seasoning with crushed red pepper flakes and, of course, my Monterey Steak Seasoning.  I served this with a deicious Chilean Chardonnary from Trader Joes.  All in all a simple and delicious meal.  Happy Cooking (are you out there followers?)!
