Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake
This Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Bake is a quick and easy weeknight dinner. It requires just a few minutes on the stovetop, then baking for 30 minutes and it’s ready to serve. If you’re like me and have a houseful of hungry teenage boys, it can easily be doubled or even tripled. For the chicken, you can grab a rotisserie to make it easier, or if you have an Instant Pot, try my recipe for Instant Pot Poached Chicken – it’s delicious and ready in 12 minutes!
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and whisk in heavy cream. Whisk in egg yolk and 1 cup cheese. Simmer for 5 minutes, then remove from heat and set aside.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large pot, prepare pasta al dente as directed on the package. Drain and put back in pot. Pour ½ of sauce over pasta and toss to coat. Gently mix in chicken and broccoli.
Dump into a 9×13 pan and top with remaining Parmesan. Bake for 30 minutes.
