    Easy Chicken Brocoli Alfredo pasta this recipe

    Has anyone else been snacking 24/7 now that you're work from home? I can't help myself when the kitchen is only steps away from my desk. Needless to say, I've gained a couple of pounds over the past months. To shed a few of those pounds, I've been making this Easy Chicken Broccoli Alfredo. Quick, simple, and gives me everything I want from a chicken alfredo, and it's under 500 calories.

    Cheese is an investment. I recommend buying the best cheese you can. I like getting a cheese wedge and grating them whenever I need it. Higher quality cheese has way more flavor (i.e., you can use less and not even notice), and will last longer in your fridge than pre-shredded cheese. Trust me, just try it out once, you won't regret it. Store any leftover cheese in a plastic bag or wrap it in wax paper. If you still have some left ina month, slice it up and put it on crackers as a snack. 😀

    Store any leftovers in an airtight container for a maximum of 4 days. If you are reheating using a microwave, add a tiny splash of water to the pasta and mix before microwaving to make the sauce a little smoother.

    Ingredients
      

    • 10 ounces pasta any shape
    • 3 cups fresh broccoli florets
    • Chicken
    • 1 tablespoon olive oil
    • 1 lb chicken breasts about ½" thick
    • Alfredo Sauce
    • 2 tablespoon butter
    • 2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
    • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
    • 1 cup chicken stock
    • 1 cup low-fat milk
    • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
    • salt and pepper to taste

    Instructions

    • Cook pasta as directed. Two minutes before the pasta is done, add broccoli to the pot. Set aside.
    • Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large skillet. Once the oil starts to shimmer, add the chicken: salt and pepper to taste. Cook the chicken for 4-6 minutes on each side. Once it's cooked through, transfer to a plate. Let it cool, then slice the chicken.
    • Melt butter in the same skillet over medium heat—no need to clean the skillet out. Whisk in flour and cook till the mixture is light brown.  
    • Add garlic, cook for 30 seconds. Whisk in milk and broth. Bring to a boil reduce to medium-low. Continue to whisk the sauce till it thickens, about 4-6 min. It's okay to stop whisking for a minute if you need to drain your pasta. 
    • Once the sauce has thickened, remove it from the heat and mix in the parmesan cheese. If the sauce is too thick, whisk in one teaspoon of milk at a time till it's the desired consistency. Salt and pepper to taste. 
    •  Add the pasta and broccoli to the skillet. Mix until everything is well coated. Top with the chicken.
