Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo
Ingredients
2-3 medium chicken breasts
2 cups broccoli florets
8 ounces fettuccine pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until it’s no longer pink in the center. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the broccoli and cook until it’s bright green and slightly crisp. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain, reserving a cup of pasta water.
In the same skillet, add the heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and gradually add the cheese, stirring until it’s melted and smooth.
Add the cooked chicken, broccoli, and pasta to the skillet. Toss to coat everything in the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add a bit of the reserved pasta water. Serve hot.
