Broccoli Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo is one of my all time favorite pasta dishes. I love the homemade version but I’m also crazy about this amazing semi homemade version! It’s so good and it is perfect for a busy weeknight dinner because this pasta dinner is ready in 30 minutes.
We’re using leftover cooked chicken, frozen broccoli and jarred alfredo to our advantage tonight.
If you don’t have any leftover chicken to use, up you can either cook a chicken OR you can use a store bought! Rotisserie chicken or the pre cooked chicken strips from the freezer or fridge section of the grocery store are great options for this recipe.
