Ingredients
  

For the Bake
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts Tender protein that provides flavor and structure; substitute with shrimp or a plant-based alternative if desired.
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets Adds color, nutrition, and texture; both fresh or frozen work beautifully.
  • 8 ounces Pasta Opt for short pasta like penne or rotini—whole wheat offers a healthier twist.
  • 1 cup Alfredo Sauce Store-bought is convenient, but homemade really shines—consider fresh garlic for extra flavor.
  • 1 cup Shredded Parmesan Cheese The savory topping that melts to perfection; mozzarella or dairy-free cheese can be substituted.

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then sauté for about 5 to 7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked through. Chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Fill a large pot with water, adding a pinch of salt, and bring it to a boil. Add your short pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain the pasta.
  4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the warm pasta, chopped cooked chicken, and broccoli florets. Pour in your Alfredo sauce, mixing until everything is thoroughly coated.
  5. Grease a baking dish with olive oil or butter, then transfer the mixture into the dish. Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese on top.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
