Ingredients:
- 6 ounces fettuccine
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon margarine
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, diced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions:
-
Cook the Fettuccine: Begin by preparing the fettuccine according to the package instructions. As the pasta nears the end of its cooking time, add the broccoli florets. Continue to cook both the pasta and broccoli together for the final 4 minutes. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
-
Cook the Chicken: While the pasta and broccoli are cooking, heat the butter and margarine in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced chicken breast to the skillet. Cook the chicken, stirring frequently, until it is browned and cooked through.
-
Prepare the Sauce: Once the chicken is cooked, reduce the heat to low. Add the milk, grated Parmesan cheese, and freshly ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the cheese to melt into the milk, creating a creamy sauce.
-
Combine Everything: Add the drained fettuccine and broccoli to the skillet with the chicken and Alfredo sauce. Stir everything together until the pasta and broccoli are well coated with the sauce and heated through.
-
Serve: Divide the Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo among four plates. Serve immediately for a delicious and hearty meal.
