One Pot Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

This One Pot Chicken Broccoli Alfredo is a protein-packed, creamy pasta that’s full of bold flavor and simple to make. Tender, seasoned chicken is seared until golden, then paired with high-protein pasta and simmered in a savory garlic butter broth. Broccoli cooks in the same pot as the pasta, soaking up all the delicious flavors. The sauce comes together with heavy cream, Parmesan, mozzarella, and cream cheese for the ultimate creamy finish. Finished with extra pepper and Parm, this dish is as hearty as it is comforting.
