Chicken, Broccoli, and Ziti in a Garlic Cream Sauce

1 Lb. Ziti, cooked
2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts, boiled and cut into 1" pieces
1 10-12 oz bag frozen broccoli flowerettes*
1 Red bell pepper, cut into strips
3 Tbsp Butter
6 garlic cloves, chopped (or 1 Tbsp. jarred, minced garlic)
3 chicken bouillon cubes
1 1/2 c water
1 c half & half**
1/2 c Parmesan cheese
Fresh ground pepper

Steam broccoli and red pepper until cooked, but crisp.
Saute garlic in butter in a large skillet.  Add water and bouillon cubes and fresh ground pepper, to taste (I like a lot!)  Add half & half and Parmesan cheese.  Heat through, but do not boil.  Remove from heat.  Combine all ingredients.  Enjoy!

*   Substitute any frozen vegetable.  Chopped spinach is especially yummy!
** Heavy cream will work, too, making the sauce thicker.  Whole milk is fine in a pinch, but the sauce will be thinner.
