  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine your cooked pasta, shredded chicken, fresh broccoli, Alfredo sauce, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly coated.
  3. Transfer the mixture into a greased 9x13-inch baking dish and spread it out evenly.
Baking

  2. Cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes.

Notes

If your sauce looks lumpy, don't worry—everything will meld together during baking. For a lighter version, use whole wheat pasta and low-fat Alfredo sauce.
