Instructions
Creating Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli is straightforward if you follow these clear steps:
1. Cook Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets into the boiling water with the pasta.
2. Drain & Set Aside: Once the pasta and broccoli are cooked, drain them in a colander and set aside.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced chicken, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes.
4. Add Garlic: Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
5. Make Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer, then gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
6. Combine: Add the cooked fettuccine and broccoli to the skillet. Toss everything together so that the pasta and broccoli are well coated in the Alfredo sauce.
7. Serve Immediately: Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli hot, garnished with fresh parsley for an added touch.
