Instructions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8 to 10 minutes; drain well.
While the pasta cooks, melt cream cheese and butter in a skillet over low heat, stirring until completely smooth. Stir in milk and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly, stirring constantly.
Gently mix in the cooked chicken, broccoli, zucchini, and red pepper. Cook for 3 minutes over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for an additional 5 minutes, or until the vegetables reach desired tenderness. Serve immediately over fettuccine and garnish generously with grated Parmesan cheese.
