Variants:
Vegetarian Version: Omit the chicken and substitute with grilled vegetables, such as zucchini, bell peppers, and mushrooms, for a tasty vegetarian option.
Low-Carb Option: Swap the penne for a low-carb pasta like zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice to make this dish keto-friendly.
Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes to the sauce for an extra layer of heat, or toss in a few chopped jalapeños with the garlic.
FAQ:
Can I use store-bought Alfredo sauce?
Yes, you can use store-bought Alfredo sauce if you’re short on time. However, the homemade sauce in this recipe adds a creaminess and depth of flavor that makes the dish extra special.
Can I use frozen broccoli?
