Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 (12 ounce) package fettuccine pasta
- 4 cups broccoli florets
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Cook until chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Set aside.
- Cook fettuccine pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
- While pasta is cooking, steam or boil broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain well.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour until smooth. Gradually whisk in heavy cream and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and stir in Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- In the prepared baking dish, combine cooked pasta, chicken, broccoli, and Alfredo sauce. Stir to coat evenly.
- Sprinkle mozzarella cheese over the top. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
- Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of heavy cream. You can also add other vegetables like mushrooms or bell peppers. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until heated through.
