Chicken Bacon Alfredo with Broccoli and Fettucine Recipe. Tender chicken and smoky bacon tossed in an alfredo sauce with broccoli.

Making Alfredo Sauce from scratch can take time and a lot of ingredients. It is so worth it but if you are in a hurry a jarred alfredo will work just fine!

This recipe quickly came together with 1 jar of alfredo, chicken, 1 crown of broccoli, leftover bacon from breakfast and a box of fettuccine noodles.

How to Make Chicken Bacon Alfredo

First, add olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium heat.

Next, season your chicken with salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Once the large skillet has heated up add the chicken breasts and brown on both sides. This should take 3-4 minutes per side.

Cover the large skillet and reduce heat. Continue to cook the chicken covered on low heat until the temperature reaches 165F degrees or the juices run clear if you don’t have a meat thermometer. Drain juice, set chicken aside and turn off the heat to your skillet.

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine as directed on the box and drain.

Bring water to a boil and cook broccoli florets for 3-4 minutes then drain. Alternately, you can place broccoli in a microwaveable bowl. Fill the bowl with water; just enough to cover the broccoli. Microwave for 3 minutes or until broccoli is tender.

Slice your chicken breast into bite-size pieces and return the chicken to the large skillet. Add Alfredo sauce, fettuccine, broccoli, bacon and toss together until everything is coated in the Alfredo sauce.

Return the heat to low and cover for 5 minutes to heat through.

Salt and Pepper to taste. You can also add a few shakes of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.
