Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast cut into 1-inch pieces
  • 12 oz pasta penne or rotini
  • 3 cups broccoli florets fresh or frozen
  • 2 cups jarred or homemade Alfredo sauce
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 cup milk optional, to loosen sauce
  • 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs optional, for topping

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Cook pasta 2 minutes shy of package directions; drain and set aside.
  2. Sauté chicken in olive oil over medium-high heat until no longer pink, about 5–7 minutes; season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Steam or microwave broccoli until just tender, then combine with pasta and chicken in a large bowl.
  4. Stir in Alfredo sauce and milk if sauce seems thick; mix until evenly coated.
  5. Transfer to a 9x13 baking dish, top with mozzarella, Parmesan, and panko if using.
  6. Bake 15–20 minutes until bubbly and golden on top. Let sit 5 minutes before serving.
