Preparation Method

This Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo recipe is perfect for a busy weeknight. It’s got everything—protein, vegetables, and a creamy taste everyone loves.

You can substitute spaghetti or fettuccine for the linguine in this recipe. If you want a richer dish, substitute cream for milk.

1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli florets
2 tablespoons (1/4 stick) butter
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces
1 can (10-3/4 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare linguine according to package directions. Add broccoli during the last 4 minutes of cooking. Drain linguine and broccoli.
  2. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add chicken and cook until well browned, stirring often.
  3. Add soup, milk, Parmesan, pepper, linguine, and broccoli to skillet.
