Don't overcook the chicken, as it will continue to cook in the sauce. For a richer sauce, add a splash of heavy cream or half-and-half. Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach. Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to control the level of spice. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese will melt more smoothly and provide a better flavor than pre-shredded cheese.

Follow The Directions
01
StepGather all ingredients and have them prepped and ready to go.
02
StepSeason the chicken pieces generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. (2 minutes)
03
StepHeat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken and cook until fully cooked and lightly browned. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside. (7-10 minutes)
04
StepWhile the chicken cooks, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions until al dente. (8-10 minutes)
05
StepIn the same skillet, add the Alfredo sauce. Stir in the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, minced onion, fresh basil, onion powder, and cayenne pepper. Adjust seasoning to your liking. (2 minutes)
06
StepBring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat. Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until completely melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. (3-5 minutes)
07
StepWhile the sauce simmers, prepare the broccoli. Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring the water to a boil. Add the broccoli florets, cover, and steam until tender-crisp. (2-6 minutes)
08
StepAdd the cooked chicken and steamed broccoli to the Alfredo sauce. Stir gently to combine and heat through. (2 minutes)
09
StepDrain the cooked spaghetti and add it to the skillet with the sauce. Toss to coat evenly. (2 minutes)
10
StepServe immediately, garnished with additional shredded Parmesan cheese and a sprinkle of fresh basil, if desired.

Sep 5, 2024I found the sauce to be a little too thick, so I added a splash of milk and it thinned it out perfectly.
