This One Pot Chicken Broccoli Alfredo Pasta is the ultimate weeknight dinner—creamy, garlicky, and packed with flavor. Bite-sized chicken pieces are seasoned and pan-seared with garlic, then simmered in chicken stock and cream. As the pasta cooks right in the sauce, it absorbs all the richness. Toss in fresh broccoli and a trio of cheeses—Parmesan, mozzarella, and cream—for a comforting, cheesy finish. It’s all made in one pot for minimal cleanup and maximum flavor.

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Chicken Searing Secrets 🔥
    Pat chicken breasts completely dry before seasoning to achieve a perfect golden-brown crust that locks in flavor and prevents steaming.
  • Pasta Liquid Magic 💧
    Reserve 1/2 cup of pasta cooking liquid before draining, which can help adjust sauce consistency and prevent the dish from becoming too thick.
  • Broccoli Texture Hack 🥦
    Add broccoli florets in the last 3-4 minutes of cooking to maintain crisp texture and bright green color, preventing overcooking and mushiness.
  • Cheese Melting Technique 🧀
    Remove the pot from heat before adding cheeses and stir gently to prevent separation, creating a smooth and creamy Alfredo sauce.
  • Flavor Layering Pro Tip 🌶️
    Toast dried herbs like basil and paprika in the pan with olive oil for 30 seconds before adding other ingredients to intensify their aromatic qualities.
