Ingredients
  

For the Bake
  • 2 pieces Chicken Breasts Provide protein and texture; substitute with shrimp for a seafood twist.
  • 2 cups Broccoli Florets Adds nutrition and color; fresh or frozen can be used for even cooking.
  • 8 ounces Pasta (e.g., penne or rotini) Serves as the carbohydrate base; whole wheat pasta for a healthier option.
  • 1 cup Alfredo Sauce Rich, creamy component that binds the dish; homemade or store-bought works well.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive Oil Used for cooking the chicken; can be substituted with butter.
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese Adds flavor and golden crust when used as a topping; substitute with mozzarella for a different texture.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Rest for a few minutes before dicing into bite-sized pieces.
  3. While the chicken cools, bring a pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  4. Blanch broccoli florets in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes until bright green and slightly tender. Drain and plunge into ice water to stop the cooking process.
  5. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, diced chicken, blanched broccoli, and Alfredo sauce. Stir gently until all ingredients are coated.
  6. Pour the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading out evenly. Top with shredded Parmesan cheese.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbling around the edges and golden brown on top.
