Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo！So are great! What I love about this chicken and broccoli alfredo recipe is that it had a great texture. I thought it would go great with penne but feel free to use another noodle if you prefer! The penne noodles are what I had on hand. I also loved the texture and creaminess of the mozzarella cheese, milk, and heavy cream. It’s a dairy-lovers dream!
