Ingredients

For the Bake

  • 2 cups cooked pasta Use any pasta you love; rotini or penne hold the sauce beautifully.
  • 2 cups broccoli florets Fresh or frozen, this veggie adds color and crunch.
  • 2 pieces chicken breasts Opt for skinless for a leaner protein choice.
  • 1 cup Alfredo sauce Store-bought saves time, but homemade adds a personal touch!
  • 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese A must for that gooey, cheesy topping everyone adores.
  • olive oil A drizzle helps cook the chicken to a golden perfection.

  • pepper To taste, adds a subtle kick that complements the richness.

Instructions

Step-by-Step Instructions for Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to create a warm environment for baking.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, drizzle a bit of olive oil. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side.
  • In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil, cook your chosen pasta until al dente, usually around 8-10 minutes, then drain.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm cooked pasta, broccoli florets, and bite-sized pieces of cooked chicken. Pour in the creamy Alfredo sauce, stirring until coated.
  • Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading evenly, then sprinkle the top generously with shredded Parmesan cheese.
  • Place the baking dish in your preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
