Ingredients

Scale
  • 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
  • 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
  • 12 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare pasta: Boil salted water in a large pot. Cook pasta until al dente according to package directions. Drain and toss with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Sauté chicken: In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Season chicken with salt and pepper; cook until golden brown and cooked through (6-8 minutes). Remove from skillet.
  3. Add broccoli: Toss broccoli florets into the skillet during the last few minutes of cooking chicken for steaming.
  4. Make Alfredo sauce: Reduce heat; add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds. Slowly pour in heavy cream while stirring continuously.
  5. Incorporate cheese: Gradually mix in Parmesan until melted and smooth. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Combine: Gently fold cooked pasta into the sauce mixture until well coated.
  7. Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Keywords: Feel free to substitute broccoli with spinach or add mushrooms for added flavor. For a healthier version, use whole grain pasta and Greek yogurt instead of heavy cream.
