Ingredients (serves 4):

- 1 pound fettuccine pasta
- 2 cups broccoli florets
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Cooking Tips:

- Cook the pasta according to the package instructions and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Blanch the broccoli florets in boiling water for 2-3 minutes and then transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper before cooking to enhance the flavor.
- Use a non-stick pan to cook the chicken to prevent it from sticking to the pan.

Cooking Process:

1. In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine pasta until al dente. Drain the pasta and reserve 1 cup of the pasta water.
2. In a large non-stick pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes.
4. Add the blanched broccoli florets to the pan and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
5. Pour the heavy cream into the pan and stir to combine. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and stir until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
6. Add the cooked fettuccine pasta to the pan and toss to coat the pasta with the sauce. If the sauce is too thick, add some of the reserved pasta water to thin it out.
7. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
