Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo is loaded with deliciously seasoned chicken, broccoli florets and a creamy homemade alfredo sauce that's to die for.

I think we can all agree that the one thing that we’re lacking is time. Time to do anything, time to be able to be everywhere, and time to sit down and figure out what we’re making each night for dinner. Trust me…I’m right there with you.

Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo has the creamiest homemade alfredo sauce with seasoned chicken and broccoli.

From keeping track of my own schedule to trying to do the same for everyone in the family, it can all get a little too chaotic and fast-paced at times. And when that happens, figuring out what to make for dinner can be just as stressful.

This is why this chicken broccoli fettuccine alfredo recipe is my go-to dish. Not only does it pack a bunch of taste and flavors, but it’s also one meal that I know I can whip up in no time at all. If you’re looking for an awesome weeknight or weekend meal, this is the one for you.

Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo is homemade alfredo sauce loaded with chicken and broccoli served over fettuccine pasta.

Easy Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo

Can I use canned chicken in this recipe?

You can. While I’m not a huge fan of canned chicken, I also do know that it’s another great way to save on time. If you really don’t have the time to cook up raw chicken, you can substitute out for the canned chicken easily enough.

Just know that canned chicken usually is more shredded than chunked so that is something that you have to think about as far as texture goes. The flavor might be a little bit different as well but it’s still going to have that core flavor that the recipe provides.

This Chicken Broccoli Fettuccine Alfredo is creamy homemade alfredo sauce with delicious broccoli and seasoned chicken and served over fettuccine pasta.

Is there a way to make this recipe gluten-free?

There is always a way! You’ll need to make certain that the ingredients that you’re using are gluten-free in their own right, but I know for a fact that you can always find noodles at the store that are gluten-free without an issue.

And while we don’t eat gluten-free in our house, let me know what you think after you make it!

What other vegetables could be added to this dish?

If you don’t have broccoli fans in your house, you can swap out for a different vegetable if you like. Peppers, spinach, kale or even carrots could be a super fun addition, too.

And if you’re going to use broccoli, my favorite is to use a head of fresh broccoli as the frozen broccoli can release some excess water into the recipe at times.

How to store leftovers

Leftovers might be a thing for this recipe, but then again, it’s so good there might not be any left! However, if you find that you have leftovers, just store them in the fridge in an airtight container. It should keep for the next couple of days without issues and it’s actually really good warmed up as well.

Serve it with a slice of bread and butter or just heat it up and enjoy!

    This is delicious, and easy! I made it using rotisserie chicken which made for an easy weeknight meal.
