Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Pasta
Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Fettuccine
Ingredients:
12 oz fettuccine pasta
2 cups broccoli florets
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup whole milk
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
Directions:
Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the boiling pasta water. Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken pieces, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken and set aside.
In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in heavy cream and milk, bringing to a gentle simmer. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly, about 3-5 minutes.
Return chicken to the skillet along with cooked pasta and broccoli. Toss to coat everything in the Alfredo sauce. Add reserved pasta water a little at a time to loosen the sauce if needed.
Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
