Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

Ingredients:

• 8 oz fettuccine
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 cups broccoli florets
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt to taste
• Freshly ground black pepper
• Olive oil for frying
• Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook the fettuccine according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into strips.
3. In the same skillet, add the broccoli florets and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove and set aside.
4. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté for a minute. Add the heavy cream and bring to a low simmer. Gradually add the Parmesan cheese, whisking constantly until smooth and creamy.
5. Add the fettuccine to the sauce and toss to combine. Gently fold in the chicken strips and broccoli.
6. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed, and garnish with fresh parsley.
7. Serve immediately and enjoy the creamy richness of Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo.
