Chicken and Broccoli Baked Alfredo

Ingredients

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cooked and shredded
• 2 cups broccoli florets, blanched
• 8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of your choice, cooked al dente
• 2 cups Alfredo sauce (homemade or store-bought)
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.
2. Prepare Chicken and Broccoli:
   1. Cook the chicken breasts until fully cooked and tender. Shred or cut into bite-sized pieces.
   2. Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
3. Cook Pasta: Cook the fettuccine or pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
4. Assemble the Dish:
   1. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shredded chicken, blanched broccoli, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
7. Bake: Cover the baking dish with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
8. Serve: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
