Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1½ pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced
3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen, thawed and drained)
1 (15–16 oz) jar Alfredo sauce
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or Italian cheese blend)
½ teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste (optional)
Olive oil or nonstick spray, for greasing the dish
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
Prepare the chicken: Pat chicken dry and slice into thin strips for even cooking. Season with salt and optional black pepper.
Layer the broccoli: Spread broccoli evenly across the bottom of the baking dish.
Add chicken: Arrange seasoned chicken over the broccoli in a single layer.
Pour Alfredo sauce evenly over the chicken and broccoli, gently spreading to coat everything.
Top with cheese: Sprinkle mozzarella evenly over the top.
Bake covered for 20 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 10–15 minutes, until chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and sauce is bubbling.
Optional: Broil for 2–3 minutes for a lightly golden, bubbly top.
Rest and serve: Let stand 5 minutes before serving for easier slicing and thicker sauce.
