Instructions
Chicken:
- Combine Italian seasoning, vegetable oil, red wine vinegar, dried minced onions and garlic powder in a large airtight plastic bag.
- Using a meat tenderizer, pound chicken breasts until they are uniformly thin, about 1/2 inch thick. Cut into 2-3 smaller pieces.
- Marinate in plastic bag for 2-24 hours.
- When ready to serve, heat large skillet and coat with cooking spray.
- Remove chicken from marinade and discarding any leftover liquid.
- Add chicken to the skillet, cooking 4-5 minutes on each side or until fully cooked. You might have to work in batches.
- Cut chicken against the grain into strips. Set aside while you make the sauce.
Alfredo Sauce:
- Make sure pasta is cooked. It can be cooked ahead of time or in the same pot you intend to make the alfredo sauce.
- Place broccoli florets in a large microwave safe bowl or dish. Add 1 cup water. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Drain and set aside. Broccoli will be al dente.*
- In a large pot (large enough to accommodate all of your pasta) melt butter.
- Add garlic, sauteing for 3 minutes.
- Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese, whisk until smooth.
- Add cooked broccoli florets, tossing to coat.
- Add pasta and toss to coat.
- Serve pasta in large pasta dishes, divide chicken evenly over pasta dishes.
- Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, Maldon sea salt and freshly ground pepper.

Notes
- *You can also steam the broccoli on the stovetop using a steamer basket or even boil it. I prefer to microwave it since this is a quick weeknight meal and I try to limit how many dishes I am making dirty.
