Penne with Chicken and Broccoli in cream sauce

I was on a tight budget during the week and made this with $7 of groceries! (dinner for 2)

Ingredients:
olive oil
1/2 large sweet onion, roughly chopped, 1/2" pieces
2 cloves of garlic chopped
1 cup of white wine or chicken stock
small head of broccoli cut into bite-sized pieces
Philadelphia Brand Cooking Cream Cheese (italian herb flavor) - 1/2 container
1/2 lb cooked chicken in bite-sized pieces (i used already roasted from store)
1/2 Box Penne


Directions:
Heat oil in pan and put in onions on medium heat. Steam broccoli in separate pot or steamer. Caramelize onions in large skillet until golden brown. Add garlic until fragrant. Add wine or stock and loosen up onions from the bottom of pan. reduce about 1/2 of the liquid. Meanwhile, make pasta until al dente or your preference. Once the liquid is reduced, add the broccoli and chicken until warm. Mix the cream cheese into the skillet until everything is blended. Last, pour in the pasta and combine.

This is easily a meal for 4, just double everything. Its a nice quick and cheap meal for during the week!
