Hell’s Kitchen – Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli

May 19, 2022

As a team we prepared a classic in the pasta community, this dish is called Chicken Alfredo with Broccoli. We added some unique seasonings to our chicken including rosemary, onion powder, garlic powder, cumin, and paprika. This creative mix of spices makes the chicken really stand out in this dish. The broccoli added color to the dish, it was steamed and added into the pasta along with the Alfredo sauce. Parmesan cheese and parsley were added at the end to top off the dish.
