Roasted Broccoli Chicken Alfredo

Roasted Broccoli Chicken Alfredo creamy alfredo mixed with flavorful chicken and roasted broccoli makes a quick, mouth-watering dinner.

I made Roasted Broccoli Chicken Alfredo after spring-break when all the boys activities started back. Mondays are so busy for us; I need simple dishes that come together quickly.

I’ve been making a lot of pasta dishes lately, mostly because I can usually make the whole meal in one pan and in less than 30 minutes.

Although, had I been the only one eating this, I would have left out the chicken. If Wesley had been the only one eating it, he would have left out the broccoli! We totally have different tastes in food. However, we did both like the creamy sauce with a slight hint of garlic. Doesn’t garlic make everything better?

Roasted Broccoli Chicken Alfredo Tips

You can use leftover chicken for this recipe. You could also roast chicken with the broccoli, boil chicken or use a rotissierre chicken. You just need two cups of cooked chicken.

Roasting the broccoli gives it a unique flavor, if you don’t have time to roast it (30 minutes at 450 degrees F) boil the broccoli with the pasta instead.

Likewise, if you don’t have time to roast garlic, use fresh and mince it finely.

You can also turn this into a vegetarian meal by omitting the chicken and using vegetable broth instead of the chicken broth.

You can also serve Roasted Broccoli Chicken Alfredo as a side dish by omitting the chicken.
