Baked Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

This Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake is one of my favorite comfort meals because it’s creamy, cheesy, and ridiculously easy to throw together. I start by seasoning and searing the chicken so it gets that golden color, then I mix it with perfectly cooked pasta and fresh broccoli, so every bite has the perfect balance of pasta, protein, and veggies. The Alfredo sauce brings everything together with its rich, velvety texture, and once I top it with Parmesan and mozzarella cheese, the whole dish goes into the oven and bakes into a bubbly, cheesy masterpiece. When it comes out, the edges are slightly golden, the cheese is melted into every nook of the pasta. It’s the kind of meal that feels restaurant-quality but still perfect for a weeknight dinner.

Recipe Tips

Blanch the broccoli in the pasta water for the last 2-3 minutes of boiling. This keeps it bright, tender, and perfectly cooked without needing an extra pot.
