Ingredients

  • 2 cups rigatoni pasta cooked al dente
  • 2 chicken breasts
  • 2 cups frozen broccoli florets
  • 1 jar Alfredo sauce store-bought or homemade
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese or Italian blend cheese
  • Freshly grated Parmesan cheese for garnish
  • To season chicken
  • 2 tsp montreal chicken seasoning or your favorite all purpose blend
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Cook pasta al dente according to package instructions, then set aside
  • Heat your griddle to medium-high heat.
  • Lightly coat the surface with olive oil to prevent sticking
  • Season the chicken breasts with seasoning blend, drizzle with olive oil
  • Place the chicken on the preheated griddle and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and no longer pink inside. Use a griddle dome to steam the chicken all the way through
  • Remove the chicken from the griddle and set aside, once cool, dice chicken into bite sized pieces
  • Add the broccoli florets to the griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are tender and slightly charred
  • To the broccoli, mix the cooked rigatoni pasta with the Alfredo sauce. Add the cooked chicken, stirring gently to combine all the ingredients. Add cheese as desired
  • Continue cooking on the griddle for another 2-3 minutes, ensuring everything is well-coated with the sauce and heated through.
  • Garnish with freshly grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley if desired.
