With shredded chicken and cheddar

Wash the broccoli and let it dry. Cut off the bottom of the stalk and dice finely. Finely chop the florets and set aside. Heat olive oil and butter in a saucepan. Sauté the onions and broccoli stalks until translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, chili flakes, and paprika. Add the garlic and sauté briefly. Add the stock and chicken breast fillets to the pan, cover, and simmer for about 25 minutes. The time may vary depending on the size of the fillets. After about 15 minutes, add the chopped broccoli florets and the small noodles and continue simmering. Remove the chicken breast fillets from the pan and shred them with two forks. Return the meat to the pan and add the grated cheddar. Season to taste and add a little more butter if desired. Season with freshly ground pepper and serve garnished with some grated cheddar, if desired.
