Steps:
- Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rotini pasta and cook until al dente, 7 to 10 minutes. Drain, cover, and set aside until needed.
- Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 cup broccoli; toss and cook just until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle broccoli with flour, and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Pour in the milk, and stir to blend. Season with salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper powder, if desired. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer mixture until sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the onion, ground chicken, and remaining 1 cup of broccoli. Cook and stir until chicken is evenly browned and no longer pink, about 10 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Reduce heat, and cook until liquid is reduced, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven broiler to High. Lightly grease 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Toss the pasta with the broccoli sauce until evenly blended. Stir in the sour cream, if desired. Stir the broccoli sauce mixture into the chicken mixture. Spoon into the prepared baking dish. Top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
- Cook under preheated broiler until cheese melts and browns around the edges, 3 to 5 minutes.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh herbs. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but be sure to use half the amount.
- You can use any type of pasta for this salad. Short pastas, like penne or rotini, work well because they hold the sauce well. However, you can also use long pastas, like spaghetti or linguine.
- If you don't have broccoli on hand, you can use other vegetables, such as cauliflower, carrots, or zucchini.
- This salad is best served chilled. You can make it ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
This creamy herbed chicken and broccoli pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer potluck or picnic. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. The creamy herb sauce is flavorful and light, and the broccoli and chicken add a nice crunch and protein. This salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it!
