Ingredients
  

8 oz fettuccine pasta

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, diced

2 cups broccoli florets

1 cup Velveeta cheese, cubed

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 small onion, finely chopped

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add fettuccine and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Sauté the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and minced garlic; sauté until translucent (about 2-3 minutes). Add the diced chicken and season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (about 5-7 minutes).

      Add Broccoli: Stir in the broccoli florets into the skillet with the chicken. Sauté for an additional 3-4 minutes until the broccoli is tender.

        Prepare the Sauce: Lower the heat and pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine, then add the Velveeta cheese cubes. Cook, stirring often, until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy (about 3-5 minutes).

          Combine Pasta and Sauce: Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and toss to coat the pasta well with the creamy sauce. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if needed.

            Serve: Remove from heat, and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve warm and enjoy your Creamy Velveeta Chicken Fettuccine!
