Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

2-3 cooked chicken breasts, diced (I use a store bought rotisserie as usual).

1-2 cups fresh chopped broccoli, cooked and hot (I steam mine in the microwave)

1 box of Penne pasta (or your favorite pasta)

Alfredo Sauce:

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter

2 cups heavy cream

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/2 teaspoon (1 clove) minced garlic

1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

Steam broccoli and chop chicken. Set aside. Boil and drain pasta as directed on package. Melt butter in medium saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic with the butter and saute until tender. Add cream, garlic powder, and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 10 to 12 minutes or until thick, stirring frequently. When sauce has reached desired consistency, stir in Parmesan cheese. Pour chicken and broccoli in the sauce and stir. Add in Pasta and toss. Sprinkle top with parmesan cheese.
