Broccoli Chicken Pasta

This Broccoli Chicken Pasta is one of those great, super easy dinners that comes together really quick. I love easy pasta dishes that have protein and vegetables in them because it makes it that much easier.

To make this dish you will start out by cooking the pasta and broccoli together in a large boiling pot of water until the pasta and broccoli is tender. Drain and set aside.

As that cooks, you will want to make the alfredo sauce. Begin by melting the butter in a saucepan and whisk in the flour until no lumps remain. Next add in the minced garlic, milk, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Stir it until the parmesan cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.

Now you can add in the drained, shredded chicken and let it warm up in the sauce for a few minutes. Last, you can combine the pasta and broccoli with the sauce and chicken mixture. Toss to coat.

Serve immediately and enjoy!

This dish would be great served with an additional vegetable on the side or any bread recipe! If you make this recipe, please let me know how you like it in the comments below!
