How To Make chicken fettuccine alfredo with broccoli

  • Step 1
    Cook fettuccine al dente according to package directions; during the last 4 minutes, add broccoli florets. Drain and keep warm in large serving bowl.
  • Step 2
    While pasta is cooking, prepare chicken. Cut chicken into bite-sized cubes. Add salt and pepper to flour; coat chicken pieces with flour mixture. (Chicken breasts may be grilled and then cut into bite-sized pieces, if desired)
  • Step 3
    Heat a 12-inch skillet; add 2 Tbsp. butter. Add onions and garlic; cook 1 minute. Add cream and cook additional 3 minutes until it reduces slightly. Add Parmesan; cook and stir until cheese is blended and melted.
  • Step 4
    Return chicken pieces to cream mixture; stir to coat. Pour chicken and cream mixture over drained pasta. Stir to coat pasta with sauce.
  • Step 5
    Serve immediately, sprinkling additional Parmesan cheese on top, if desired.
