Easy Creamy Chicken Alfredo Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cut into chunks
• salt and ground black pepper to taste
• 2 (16 ounce) packages thin spaghetti
• 4 (15 ounce) jars Alfredo sauce
• 2 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons chopped onion
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
• 2 tablespoons salt
• 2 tablespoons ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon onion powder
• 0.5 tablespoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
• 1.5 cups shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 cups chopped broccoli

Instructions

1. Gather all of your ingredients.
2. Season the chicken with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until it's no longer pink inside and the juices run clear.
3. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add spaghetti and cook for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it's tender but still firm.
4. While the pasta cooks, add Alfredo sauce to the chicken. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper to your liking.
5. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then stir in Parmesan cheese. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon.
6. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the steamer's bottom. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli, cover, and steam for 2 to 6 minutes, or until tender.
7. Add the steamed broccoli to the sauce.
8. Drain the cooked pasta. Scoop it into individual serving bowls and pour the creamy Alfredo sauce on top.
