One-Pot Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo is a simple, easy, and delicious 30-minute meal the entire family will love. A perfect busy weeknight dinner.
With a family of cheese-lovers, alfredo is one of our favorite pasta dishes. Try this Skinny Alfredo Sauce if you’re looking for a slimmed-down version of the sauce. This Easy Shrimp Alfredo is perfect for those looking for a twist. For a quick and simple recipe, try my Easy Fettuccine Alfredo.
I also love these twists, perfect to serve as appetizers, like this Stuffed Chicken Alfredo Bread and my “Skinny” Chicken Alfredo Dip.
It was a pleasure working with General Mills on this post. All opinions expressed are my own.
I know that my house isn’t the only one that struggles with dinner time, especially during the fall season when 4 out of 5 of our kids are in sports. Then we have school, work, and everyday madness to keep up with too.
So, I’m always on the lookout for easy and quick 30-minute meals for my family to devour. Let’s be honest, it isn’t as easy as it sounds.
This dish answers all of my requirements. Delicious – check. Cheesy – check. Veggies – check. Ready to serve in 30-minutes – check. Protein – check. Kids love it – check plus. Hubby loves it – huge check.
I love that the ease of this recipe is simplifying two ingredients. I used a rotisserie chicken and for the broccoli, I used the frozen Cascadian Farms Broccoli Florets. This shortened the cooking time of the recipe without taking away from the flavor. In addition, using the frozen Cascadian Farms Broccoli Florets allowed the sauce to have the right consistency.
Dinner isn’t the only thing we struggle with; snack time can be hard too, right?! Something easy to grab that meets my expectations and powers my kiddos through their activities isn’t always as easy as it seems.
We have a few favorites that the kids and I love, and I especially love that I can get them at our local Sprouts Market – I love shopping there. Great products and a beautiful store layout makes it easy for me to shop, which is a huge time saver. What mom doesn’t need that? I love that their slogan fits their brand: “It’s Healthy Living for Less”. It’s so true.
This makes it easy to keep my family happy, fed and energized with food that they love. And this mom is happy because this recipe for One-Pot Creamy Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo is simply delicious. Stock up on ingredients and pantry essentials with your family in mind.
I can’t wait for you to try this recipe with your family. I love sharing things that bring a “dash of sanity” into my life: delicious recipes and smart shopping tips.
Enjoy! XOXO San
