Ingredients

1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 large cloves garlic minced
2 cups half and half
1/2 cup water
1 cup mozzarella cheese grated
¾ teaspoon sea salt
1/8 cup parmesan
2 cups cooked chicken shredded rotisserie chicken or chopped chicken thighs work well
7 circles tagliatelle noodles
2 cups broccoli finely chopped (optional)

Instructions

In a large skillet you will start by heating up your butter until it is melted. Toss in the garlic and cook for 2-3 minutes to allow it to become fragrant.
Now you will whisk in your half and half, water, and sprinkle in the sea salt. Turn the heat to medium stirring continously.
Now you will place your tagliatelle noodles in the cream sauce and cover with a lid. You will find the mixture will boil after you cover the pan.
Cook for 5-7 minutes, make sure to watch the dish so it doens't over-boil and spill out.
Use tongs to flip the round noodles over and cover back up for an additional 3 minutes.
Remove the lid and stir and when your pasta is close to done, you will add in the mozzarella cheese. Turn the heat down a little to low-medium heat. Stir often, and toss in broccoli, and cooked diced or shredded chicken.
Remove from heat, and allow the mixture to sit with the lid on for 5-10 minutes.
Top with salt, pepper, and parmesan. This is a delicious one pot alfredo recipe.

Notes

If you want to use fettuccine noodles just cook them in a separate pan as directed. Then drain and toss into the sauce at the end of cooking.

You can pan-sear chicken that has been seasoned with salt and pepper if you would like. I would dice into 1-inch cubes and then cook till fully done, then move on to sauce if you don't have pre-cooked chicken on hand.

Feel free to leave out the broccoli if you would like.

Store leftover alfredo chicken in the fridge for a few days. This dish due to the sauce does not freeze well.
