We rarely went out to eat when I was growing up. But when we did, I was always excited to see Alfredo on the menu. It seemed ‘fancy’, and with my bottomless appetite, it was a favorite. While Alfredo is a classic dish, I wanted to make a version that is perfect for weeknight family dinners or entertaining. We’re going to be adding some chicken and broccoli to make this a one pot dinner everyone can love. This recipe is inspired by my Gluten Free Mac and Cheese which is also made in one pot. But instead of cheddar cheese, we’re adding parmesan cheese and a touch more cream to create the Alfredo sauce.
How to make this Chicken Broccoli Alfredo recipe step by step
I really hope you enjoy this Chicken Broccoli Alfredo! If you do get a chance to make this recipe, I’d love to hear from you in the comments. It’s important that the broccoli is small enough to cut into bite-sized pieces so that it will cook completely. It’s important not to overcook the chicken in this step. It will continue to cook as it sits, and will finish cooking in the pasta sauce at the end. You can also follow the recipe notes for cooking the broccoli separately to help with timing. Serve immediately with more parmesan cheese.
