Chicken and Broccoli Pasta
INGREDIENTS:
2 Tbsp. margarine or butter
1/2 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into thin strips (I did chunks and probably did more than a 1/2 lb, too)

1 small red pepper, cut into thin strips (could have omitted -- my husband picked them out of his :LOL: )
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 tsp. garlic powder (I used garlic salt)
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 pkg (3 oz.) cream cheese, softened
6 oz bow tie (farfalle) pasta (I used closer to 12oz -- about a whole box worth)
