Ingredients:

1 cup rice noodles
180g
3 cups broccoli
210g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
4 oz chicken breasts
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/2 cup cream cheese
120g
1/2 cup greek yogurt
120g
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
1/4 tsp salt
1.50g
1/4 tsp white pepper
0.60g

Instructions:

1. Cook the Rice Noodles:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
- Add the rice noodles and cook according to the package instructions, typically around 4-6 minutes, until they are tender.
- Drain the noodles and set them aside.
2. Prepare the Broccoli:
- While the noodles are cooking, steam the chopped broccoli in a steamer basket over a pot of boiling water. Alternatively, you can microwave the broccoli in a microwave-safe dish with a splash of water for 3-4 minutes until tender.
- Set the cooked broccoli aside.
3. Cook the Chicken:
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the sliced chicken breasts and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and is lightly browned, about 5-7 minutes.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
4. Create the Alfredo Sauce:
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- Add the cream cheese and Greek yogurt to the skillet, stirring continuously until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and white pepper. Mix until the cheese is melted and the sauce is well combined.
5. Combine Everything:
- Add the cooked rice noodles, chicken, and broccoli to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce.
- Toss everything together gently to coat the noodles, chicken, and broccoli evenly with the sauce.
6. Serve:
- Divide the Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo among plates or bowls.
- Garnish with additional grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
7. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your delicious Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo!

Tips:

- For a smoother sauce, ensure the cream cheese and Greek yogurt are at room temperature before mixing.

- Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces to ensure even cooking and easier eating.

- Steam the broccoli for a few minutes before adding it to the pan to maintain its bright green color and crisp texture.

- If the sauce becomes too thick, add a few tablespoons of the pasta cooking water to reach your desired consistency.

- Season the chicken breasts with a little salt and pepper before cooking for added flavor.

- Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and texture.

- Feel free to add other veggies, such as bell peppers or mushrooms, to make the dish more colorful and nutritious.

- Let the cooked noodles and broccoli drain well to avoid excess water diluting the sauce.

Your Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo is now ready to serve! This dish marries the creamy richness of the Alfredo sauce with the tender chicken and fresh broccoli in a harmonious blend.
