This Alfredo style recipe with chicken and broccoli is a very simple dish to prepare, I like to use the same pasta water to cook the broccoli just a couple minutes before al dente. Top with grated Parmesan cheese, magnificent! Alfredo sauce is certainly not one of those "clean-eating" New Years type dish, but with all this broccoli, it all balances out, right? Pour remaining alfredo over chicken and broccoli.
