- Strain penne, then return to the pot, off heat.

- Season with salt and pepper.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then chicken.
- Cook for 6-8 min, stirring occasionally, until golden and cooked through.**
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, 3/4 cup (1 1/3 cups) reserved pasta water and broth concentrate. Set aside. (NOTE: This is your sauce mixture.)
