Description

Tender chicken, fresh broccoli, and fettuccine smothered in a rich Alfredo sauce! A comforting and delicious dish perfect for any family dinner.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb fettuccine pasta
  • 2 chicken breasts (sliced)
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 ½ cups heavy cream
  • 1 ½ cups grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Cook the fettuccine: In a large pot, cook fettuccine according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  • Sauté the chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook until golden and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  • Steam the broccoli: Steam the broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes until tender but still bright green. Set aside.
  • Make the Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add heavy cream and simmer for 3-4 minutes. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Combine: Toss the cooked fettuccine and steamed broccoli into the Alfredo sauce. Top with cooked chicken slices.
  • Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot!

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or crushed red pepper flakes.
  • You can substitute the fettuccine with another pasta of your choice, like penne or linguine.
