This One Pot Chicken Broccoli Alfredo is the ultimate weeknight dinner—creamy, comforting, and made entirely in one pot. Seasoned chicken is browned and combined with garlic butter, pasta, and a savory chicken broth-cream blend. The broccoli cooks in the same pot with the pasta for convenience, and everything is finished with a melty trio of cheeses. It's easy, cheesy, and packed with flavor in every bite.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Cheese Melting Magic 🧀
    Remove the pot from heat before adding cheese to prevent breaking and ensure a smooth, creamy sauce with perfect texture.
  • Pasta Water Precision 💧
    Control the sauce consistency by keeping extra chicken stock or pasta water on hand to adjust thickness if needed during cooking.
  • Broccoli Timing Technique 🥦
    Add broccoli florets 3-4 minutes before pasta is fully cooked to ensure they're tender-crisp and retain their vibrant green color.
  • Chicken Seasoning Secret 🔪
    Create a dry rub by mixing garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper for maximum flavor penetration before cooking.
  • One-Pot Layering Trick 🥘
    Brown chicken first, then use the same pan's fond to build deeper flavor when sautéing garlic and creating the sauce base.
