Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

4. Make the Alfredo Sauce:
   • In the same skillet used for chicken, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
   • Add heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Combine Everything:
   • Slice the cooked chicken into strips.
   • In a large pot or pan, combine the cooked pasta, Alfredo sauce, chicken, and broccoli. Toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in sauce.
6. Serve:
