Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups broccoli florets

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. During the last 3 minutes of cooking, add the broccoli florets to the pot. Drain the pasta and broccoli, reserving about 1/2 cup of the pasta cooking water.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken pieces. Season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.

      Make the Alfredo Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir continuously as the cream thickens slightly.

        Combine Ingredients: Reduce the heat to low, and gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and creamy. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.

          Finish the Dish: Add the drained fettuccine, broccoli, and cooked chicken back into the skillet. Gently toss everything together until well combined and heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary.

            Serve: Plate the pasta, adding extra Parmesan on top if desired, and sprinkle with fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness. Enjoy your delectable 30-Minute Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli!
