How to make Chicken Broccoli Penne (Fazoli’s-Style)?

Cook the Pasta

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil to cook Penne pasta as per the package instructions until it’s tender.
  • Toss the Broccoli Florets in the water until it turns tender and bright green.
  • Drain and keep everything aside.

Prepare Chicken

  • Chicken margination is important. Marinate the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and smoked paprika.  
  • Over medium flame, cook chicken in olive oil on medium flame (you can add butter if you feel fancy).
  • Cook the chicken for at least 6-7 mins until it turns golden brown and tender.
  • Until it’s done, let it rest aside. Slice it when it cools down. 

Making Alfredo Sauce

  • Melt butter, and add minced garlic until it becomes fragrant.
  • Pour heavy cream, and let it just simmer. Do not boil it.
  • Stir Parmesan cheese in it, and whisk until it gets smooth. 
  • Add salt and black pepper (to taste) with a pinch of nutmeg.
  • Simmer it until it’s thick and creamy

Assemble it Together

  • Add the cooked pasta and Alfredo sauce in a baking dish.
  • Toss them together for better coating
  • Place the juicy and marinated chicken on the top of the pasta and sauce.
  • If any sauce left in the pan, drizzle that Alfredo sauce too on the baking dish
  • Also add the Broccoli and cherry tomatoes on the top.

Your creamy Alfredo pasta, marinated seasoned chicken, fresh broccoli and tomatoes are assembled together. They are ready! Enjoy this Fazoli’s-styled Chicken Broccoli Penne at the comfort of your home without stepping out of your home.
