Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
"ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS! Great for pasta night! This is one of my family's mainstay dishes and better than you get in the restaurants! We make it as a one-dish meal and just add crusty bread. Easy preparation!"

This sauce ... is AMAZING. I don't even bother buying storebought alfredo anymore because this just tastes sooooo much better. I use linguine for my pasta, and I put blackening season on my chicken. I pan sear the chicken for a few minutes on each side, and then I put the breasts in the oven for 10mins. PERFECT chicken for this pasta. Although my recipe ends up being cajun chicken alfredo linguine, the sauce still makes it remarkable. Love it!! -
This was so scrumptious. I went into thinking how could such few ingredients make it so flavorful but they really come together brilliantly. The broccoli, pasta and chicken make it a complete meal. The dish was gone so fast I was unable to get photos, (a sign of a loved meal!) Using fresh ingredients make the dish. Thanks for posting Seasoned Cook, I made it as written but doubled it. 5 stars number 5 for this. Made for the Zaar Cookbook Tag Game. Enjoy! ChefDLH -
This is very delicious! My family loved it. The sauce is just wonderful. I did use angel hair this time, but next time I will use a thicker noodle. I always want to try angel hair, but I'm always disappointed - don't know why. Anyway, this is a wonderful meal and one I will make again. I doubled this recipe for my family of four. Thanks for sharing! -
This is hands down one of the best recipes for chicken broccoli alfredo that I've ever tried. The sauce is perfection. I used linguine in mine; I also baked the chicken in the oven and sliced it before adding it to the pasta. I used half a bag of frozen broccoli and the amount was just right. I HIGHLY recommend this one!!!! -
I had never made alfredo before and I was really nervous. This recipe was easy to follow and my husband enjoyed the food. Thank you, Genius Kitchen!

Your right, this is absolutely delicious! I used fettuccini instead of the angel hair, as I like the texture better for a dish like this. I made as directed and it resulted in an excellent tasting dish, and the sauce was great!
