Ingredients for Alfredo Fettuccine With Chicken And Broccoli

  • Chicken Tenders
  • Onion
  • Red Pepper
  • Olive Oil
  • 2 cups Alfredo sauce (store-bought or homemade)
  • Broccoli Florets
  • Fresh Ground Pepper
  • Parmesan Cheese
  • Fettuccine Pasta

How to Make Alfredo Fettuccine With Chicken And Broccoli

  1. Cook fettuccine according to package directions. Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining.
  2. While pasta cooks, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add broccoli florets to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Stir in Alfredo sauce, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce is smooth and creamy.
  5. Add cooked chicken back to the skillet. Stir in cooked fettuccine and a little pasta water (1/4 cup at a time) until desired consistency is reached.
  6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
