Healthy doesn’t have the be Difficult, or Expensive!
In order to live a healthy lifestyle I need things to be easy, quick and affordable. This Easy Broccoli Chicken Alfredo recipe fits all of these things! Perfect for meal prep and also a last minute easy meal. I always keep a jar of Alfredo in my pantry for this meal!
It can be even easier with precooked frozen chicken or using a rotisserie chicken! I also always keep frozen broccoli in my freezer. Having frozen vegetables on hand at all times helps me to live a healthy lifestyle.

This Broccoli Chicken Alfredo recipe is great all on its own. But, we love adding it on top of some cooked pasta! This meal is so easy its fun for the little ones to help with too! (Just obviously be careful of the hot oil!) Once all the heat is turned off I will have Amelia help me plate it. This gets her excited to eat it, since she helped! If you enjoy this meal, you have to check out my other easy weeknight meals! Like my One Pan Bratwurst, easy Turkey Taco Bowl or New Joe’s Special!
If you like a little kick with it, try topping with red peppers. Parmesan cheese or a little bit of mozzarella is always a great idea!
The big question is how often are you going to make this meal? We do the same thing with traditional red pasta sauce and the cubed chicken as well. Cooking the chicken in cubes just goes so much faster, and on weeknights especially, I need things to cook quickly!
