Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small pieces
- 1 head of broccoli, cut into small florets
- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Start by cooking the pasta according to the package instructions. While the pasta is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and broccoli to the pan and cook until the broccoli is tender and the chicken is cooked through, about 5-7 more minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and mozzarella cheese to the pan. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Drain the cooked pasta and add it to the pan with the chicken and broccoli mixture. Toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. Serve hot and enjoy!
