– ⅔ cup milk
– 1 cup shredded mozzarella
– ¼ cup grated Parmesan
– 4 cups cooked fettuccine
– 2 cups steamed broccoli florets
– 6 strips cooked bacon, crumbled
– Salt and pepper, to taste

How To

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, then add in the cream and milk.
  2. Bring the garlic mixture to a boil, then add in the mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses and stir until melted.

  4. Arrange the chicken slices, broccoli and bacon over the noodles. Fold everything together and serve.

Tips

  • If you’re starting with uncooked chicken breasts, sauté them in 1 tablespoon of olive oil before slicing into thin strips. You can then continue into step 1 of this recipe by sautéing the garlic in the same pan using the leftover olive oil.
  • Four cups of cooked fettuccine is roughly equivalent to 8 ounces of uncooked fettuccine, cooked according to package directions.
