Wash chicken and pat dry; cut into 1 inch cubes. Rinse broccoli florets and cut off ends.
In a heavy pan on high heat, add oil; heat until shimmering, but not smoking.
Add chicken; cook on high 5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. Add broccoli, cook until soft and bright green, about 5 minutes.
Remove chicken and broccoli from pan; reduce heat to medium low. Add butter and garlic; cook until softened and slightly brown, about 2 minutes. Add sun-dried tomatoes and spices; stir. Add cream, cheese, and stock, if needed; stir; slowly raise heat to medium- low heat if sauce starts to boil. Let sauce thicken, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add chicken and broccoli back to pan; toss to coat.
Cook chicken and broccoli in sauce until sauce is thick and reduced by half.
Serve immediately over cooked penne, spaghetti, or spaghetti squash.
