Quick and Easy Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Disclaimer:  I’m sorry I don’t really measure anything.  Just prepare how much you think you and/or your family will eat!  There is no “right” or “wrong.”

  • Chicken; cut into cubes
  • Broccoli (frozen or fresh); cut into florets
  • Alfredo Sauce (jarred, mix or homemade!)
  • Healthy Fettuccine Noodles, brown rice or quinoa
  • Olive Oil
  • Seasoning Salt

Prepare and cut Chicken into cubes.

Preheat 2-3 T. Olive Oil in a skillet.
I used an electric skillet, but you could also use a wok or large pan on top of the stove.

Add Chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes.

Add frozen broccoli (if using fresh, cook chicken about 5 minutes longer before you add it.)

Sprinkle the chicken and broccoli with seasoned salt (add more if you like more….less if you like less!)

Cook 5-10 minutes more until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.

While the chicken and broccoli are cooking, prepare the sauce and noodles (or brown rice, quinoa, etc.)

I sometimes use jarred Alfredo sauce and it is super easy and quick!  I try to buy healthier brands and always check the labels to make sure it’s as “real” as possible.  Classico makes a great one that I love.

I’ve also made my own Alfredo sauce before too.  It’s a little bit of a pain, but it’s yummy.  Click here for a great recipe from AllRecipes.com.

But, this time I chose to make this kind by Simply Organic.

I bought these packets at Smiths and it was very yummy.  It was super easy to make too.

I made Fettuccine noodles for my kids and Kev and I had quinoa.  I cooked the noodles and quinoa while the chicken and broccoli were cooking too.  It was pretty slick.

I loved it with the quinoa.  I just topped it with the broccoli and chicken and then topped everything with the sauce!  Yum!

Here’s my plate.
