Home Made Alfredo with Chicken + Broccoli

Well today I leaned that fettuccine is a shape of pasta, not part of the name of "Alfredo." 

Huh. Well, my friend Abby makes the best Alfredo anywhere, but here is my attempt with a few twists! (You can check out her blog at www.midwestglam.weebly.com)

This is an awesome take on Alfredo. It is not healthy. If you want to be healthy, stop now. (Bummer!)

Ingredients:
1. Chicken breast (I used 3, gotta have leftovers)
2. Mccormicks roasted garlic seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic powder or fresh garlic 
3. One box pasta 
4. One stick butter
5. 3/4 cup heavy cream
6. One bunch broccoli 
7. Olive oil
8. 1-2 cups Parmesan


I started by brushing the chicken in olive oil, adding the seasoning and then salt and pepper. Bake at 375 for roughly 25 minutes. 


Cut the broccoli into small florets. Steam them for about 7 minutes (at the end of all of this when the chicken and pasta are almost done!)

Boil your pasta! While you wait, cut up
Some garlic. Or use powder if you are lazy. 

Mix together Parmesan, pepper, salt, and garlic in separate bowl. 


Next, melt one stick of butter. 
This is not the most heart healthy of dinners. 


Add in the cream and let it heat up. 


Now, after it heated up, I poured it into the bowl with the Parmesan mixture. That was dumb. Instead, turn the heat down to low and add the Parmesan mixture to the burner. Wisk it a bit to get the cheese to dissolve. 

When it's melted, dump it all over the pasta and add the broccoli. 


Serve on a plate with the sliced chicken over it. 


Garlicky, buttery heaven.
