Description
A cozy one pot chicken broccoli Alfredo that brings warmth and comfort, perfect for any family table.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts, diced
- 2 cups fresh broccoli florets
- 8 oz fettuccine or pasta of choice
- 2 cups Alfredo sauce
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Parmesan cheese for serving
Instructions
- In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the diced chicken breasts, stirring occasionally until they turn golden and are cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Toss in the broccoli florets and sauté for another 2-3 minutes until vivid and tender.
- Pour in the Alfredo sauce and gently add the fettuccine, ensuring there’s enough water to cover everything.
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat, cover, and cook according to the pasta package instructions until it’s tender.
- Stir occasionally to prevent sticking for a smooth, creamy finish.
- Season generously with salt and pepper to enhance the flavors.
- Serve warm, topped with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Notes
For a thicker sauce, add a splash of cream or more Alfredo sauce. Freshly grated cheese provides better flavor than pre-packaged.
