Use a 5-quart heavy-bottom pot. Add the garlic infused olive oil and heat over medium heat.
Add the diced chicken to the pot and season with salt, pepper, and garlic salt.
Cook the chicken over medium-high heat for about 10 minutes. Resist the urge to stir. Once the chicken is golden brown, flip the pieces and cook the other side until browned and cooked through. Give it one final stir to make sure all the pieces are fully cooked.
Pour in the chicken broth, milk, and chopped broccoli florets. Stir to combine and bring to a gentle simmer.
Add the pasta and cook for about 10 minutes, or follow the package instructions. Stir carefully but often so it doesn’t stick to the bottom. As the liquid cooks down, it thickens into a creamy sauce while the noodles soften. Keep stirring often for the best texture. Al dente pasta is the goal.
Remove from the heat. Stir in the coconut cream and let it thicken for 2–3 minutes, until the sauce is thick and creamy.
Serve immediately, topped with chopped fresh parsley or fresh basil, if desired.
Notes
Note 1: I love to use low FODMAP garlic salt from Smoke and Sanity to add that garlic flavor without using actual garlic. Note 2: Use a low FODMAP chicken broth or one that can be tolerated. Note 3: Other options include lactose free milk, regular cow's milk if you can tolerate them. Note 4: I love the Jovial brand, but it will also work with a corn rice gluten free pasta like the Barilla brand. Note 5: Use canned coconut cream or use the top of canned coconut milk for a cheaper option.
