Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo
Creamy fettuccine Alfredo tossed with grilled chicken and tender broccoli. A rich, comforting Italian dinner at 660 calories with 40g of protein.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cooked chicken breast, sliced
- 1 cup fettuccine pasta (dry measure ~2 oz)
- 1 cup broccoli florets
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Cook fettuccine in salted boiling water according to package directions until al dente. Reserve 1/4 cup pasta water, then drain.
- Steam broccoli florets until tender-crisp, about 4 minutes, and set aside.
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and grill chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
- Melt butter in a separate pan over medium heat and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook 2 minutes to thicken slightly.
- Whisk in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Toss drained pasta and broccoli in the Alfredo sauce, loosening with pasta water as needed.
- Slice chicken and serve over the pasta, garnished with parsley.

Tips
- Grate Parmesan from a wedge rather than using pre-shredded so it melts smoothly into the sauce.
- Reserve pasta water before draining - its starch rescues a sauce that seizes up.
