1Drizzle olive oil on four thinly sliced chicken breasts.
2Heavily season the chicken with Kinder's wood-fired garlic, black pepper, Trader Joe's onion salt, garlic powder, and Kinder's smokehouse salt pepper.
3Work the seasonings into both sides of the chicken.
4Set the chicken aside to marinate for about 30 minutes.
5Cut fresh broccoli into florets.
6In a large mixing bowl, douse the broccoli with oil and Kinder's veggie rub.
7Toss the broccoli well to coat with seasoning.
8Pan sear the broccoli for about 5 to 7 minutes or until it reaches desired tenderness.
9Once the broccoli is done, remove it from the pan and set it aside.
10Pan sear the chicken in the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes.
11Once the oil is piping hot, brown the chicken on both sides for about 4 to 5 minutes per side, adjusting time based on skillet heat.
12Once the chicken is done, remove it and set it aside.
13To the drippings in the pan, melt 3 tablespoons of salted butter.
14Add about a tablespoon of minced garlic paste or minced garlic.
15Lightly brown the garlic until fragrant.
16Add in 1 quart of heavy whipping cream and mix it well.
17Warm the cream until piping hot, then turn the heat off.
18Next, add in 1 cup of room temperature parmesan cheese.
19Stir until the cheese is melted.
20Add about four chopped sun-dried tomatoes, a handful of spinach, the cooked broccoli and chicken, and half a box of rigatoni to the sauce.
21Stir well, making sure to coat all the pasta and ingredients with sauce.
22To a baking dish, layer the pasta and a blend of cheeses (mozzarella and provolone), starting with pasta and ending with cheese.
23Bake it on 425°F for 5 minutes.
24Broil it on high for 3 to 5 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
