Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1½ pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, cut into evenly sized pieces
  • 4 cups broccoli florets fresh or thawed and well drained
  • 1½ cups Alfredo sauce
  • ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ –½ teaspoon salt adjusted to taste

Equipment

  • 9 × 13-inch baking dish
  • Cutting board
  • Sharp kitchen knife
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Mixing bowl
  • Tongs or a mixing spoon
  • Food thermometer
  • Aluminum foil, if needed

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven: Heat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 9 × 13-inch baking dish.
  2. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken dry and cut it into evenly sized pieces. Toss with olive oil, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and salt.
  3. Prepare the broccoli: Cut fresh broccoli into bite-sized florets. If using frozen broccoli, thaw and drain it thoroughly to prevent excess moisture.
  4. Arrange the ingredients: Spread the seasoned chicken and broccoli in the prepared baking dish, keeping the ingredients in a reasonably even layer.
  5. Add the Alfredo sauce: Pour the Alfredo sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Gently toss or turn the ingredients so the sauce coats them evenly.
  6. Add the cheese: Sprinkle Parmesan over the mixture, followed by shredded mozzarella.
  7. Bake the casserole: Bake for approximately 30–40 minutes, checking earlier if the chicken pieces are small. If the cheese browns too quickly, cover loosely with foil.
  8. Check doneness: Use a food thermometer to confirm that the thickest chicken pieces reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
  9. Rest and serve: Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Spoon the creamy chicken, broccoli, and melted cheese onto plates.

Notes

  • Drain frozen broccoli thoroughly to keep the Alfredo sauce creamy.
  • Chicken pieces of similar size cook more evenly.
  • Alfredo sauces vary in saltiness, so adjust the added salt to taste.
  • Cooking time depends on chicken size, starting temperature, and baking dish.
  • Refrigerate leftovers promptly and use within 3–4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers to 165°F.
