Ingredients
  

1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces

2 cups fresh broccoli florets

3 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper, to taste

8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of choice

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Add the broccoli florets during the last 3 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the cut chicken pieces, season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Cook for about 6-8 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and fully cooked, stirring occasionally.

      Add Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add the minced garlic to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

        Create the Alfredo Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the heavy cream. Stir well to combine. Gradually add the grated Parmesan cheese, and continue to stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is creamy. If the sauce is too thick, you can add a splash of pasta water to reach your desired consistency.

          Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the drained fettuccine and broccoli to the skillet with the chicken and Alfredo sauce. Toss everything together gently to combine, ensuring the pasta is well coated in sauce.

            Melt the Mozzarella: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top of the skillet. Cover with a lid and allow the cheese to melt for about 2-3 minutes on low heat.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove the skillet from heat. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving. Enjoy your creamy chicken and broccoli Alfredo directly from the skillet for a comforting and delicious meal!
