Creamy Garlic Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli & Fettuccine is a rich, indulgent pasta dish with tender chicken, crisp broccoli, and silky Alfredo sauce infused with garlic. A perfect weeknight dinner or cozy weekend indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz fettuccine
  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup reserved pasta water

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
  2. Add chicken, season with salt and pepper, and cook until golden and fully cooked. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Cook fettuccine according to package instructions. Add broccoli florets in the last 2 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup pasta water.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and smooth.
  6. Add fettuccine and broccoli to the skillet. Toss gently to coat in sauce. Add chicken and reserved pasta water if needed.
  7. Season to taste with additional salt and pepper. Top with more Parmesan if desired.
  8. Serve hot with crusty bread or salad.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smoother sauce.
  • Don’t overcook broccoli—add it in the last minutes of pasta cooking.
  • Reserve pasta water to adjust sauce consistency if needed.
