Cooking Steps

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper, sauté for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8-10 minutes. Drain and keep warm.
In a mixing bowl, combine pasta, broccoli, cubed chicken, and Alfredo sauce. Mix until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes until bubbly and golden brown.
