Easy Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo Recipe
Fettucine noodles tossed in a simple homemade alfredo sauce with roasted broccoli, bacon and diced chicken. This recipe cooks the chicken, broccoli, and bacon together on a sheet pan so it can all be chopped up and added to the sauce.
Ingredients
- 16 oz. Fettucine noodles cooked according to package instructions
- 1 1/2 lbs. Broccoli florets
- 2 Boneless, skinless chicken breasts pounded thin
- 4-5 slices Bacon
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- Kosher salt
- Fresh cracked black pepper
- 4 tbsp Unsalted butter
- 2-3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Shredded parmesan cheese
- Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Cook fettucine noodles according to package instructions, reserve 1/2 cup pasta water for sauce*. Set aside.
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees F, add broccoli florets, chicken breasts, and bacon to a sheet pan. Drizzle with olive oi and season with salt and pepper. Toss to combine. Bake at 400 for 12-15 minutes until chicken is cooked and broccoli is tender, set aside.
- Heat a large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add in butter and let melt, add in minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Slowly pour in cream and add in parmesan cheese. Reduce heat to medium and stir continuously until cheese is melted and sauce begins to thicken. If the sauce is too thick, thin out with a bit of the reserved pasta water, if it is too thin, simmer longer.
- Chop the cooked bacon and chicken, add into the alfredo sauce along with the broccoli and cooked fettucine noodles. Toss everything to combine and enjoy immediately topped with fresh herbs.
Notes
*Reserve pasta water to thin out the alfredo sauce if needed.
*Use a large sauté pan, everything will be added to this pot so it needs to be large enough to hold everything. A large Dutch oven will also work.
