Steps:
- In a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the chicken, broth, 1 teaspoon of the salt, smashed garlic, and parsley. Bring just to a boil, remove from the heat, and set aside, covered, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken, strain the broth. Pull the chicken into strips and put in a bowl with about 1/4 cup of the broth. Reserve the rest of the chicken broth.
- Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer broccoli with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Return the water to a boil, add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally until al dente to tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes.
- While the pasta cooks, combine the minced garlic, oil, and chile flakes in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until somewhat soft, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of the broth, the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, and stir in the butter and 1/4 cup of the pecorino until incorporated. Stir in the chicken and broccoli, bring to a simmer, and remove from the heat.
- Drain the pasta in a colander in the sink. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the remaining 1/4 cup pecorino. Pour the sauce over the pasta, season with pepper, and toss to combine. (If the sauce around the pasta seems "tight", add a little more broth, until it loosely naps the fusilli.) Serve in large bowls and pass additional cheese at the table, if desired.

Tips:
- Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure that your roasted tomatoes are bursting with flavor.
- Roast the tomatoes at a high temperature: This will help to caramelize the sugars in the tomatoes and give them a delicious roasted flavor.
- Don't overcrowd the baking sheet: Make sure to leave some space between the tomatoes so that they can roast evenly.
- Season the tomatoes with salt, pepper, and herbs: This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Use a variety of herbs and spices: This will add depth and complexity to the flavor of the dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breast is a delicate meat, so it's important to cook it until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make the chicken dry and tough.
- Serve the dish immediately: This will ensure that the chicken and vegetables are at their best.
