Chicken Alfredo Bake

Directions

1. Add salt to a large pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Use olive oil to grease the bottom of a 9x13" baking dish. Place chicken, 1/2 of seasoning, and salt &, pepper to taste, in a medium bowl, combining well. In a large skillet over medium heat, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and once hot, add chicken to the skillet. Cook until cooked through. Turn off the heat and add balsamic to deglaze and coat the chicken. Remove to a large bowl.
3. Return the skillet to medium heat and add the broccoli florets. Cook until softened and bright green. Remove from skillet and add to the bowl with the chicken.
4. Add the remaining olive oil to the same skillet as well as the onion. Cook for 3-5 minutes until it begins to soften. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more. Whisk in flour and cook, continually whisking, for 2 minutes until starting to brown. Gradually add cream while whisking, incorporating all the flour.
5. Bring the mixture to a simmer and stir in parmesan. Continue to simmer until the sauce thickens. Add sauce and cooked pasta to the bowl with the chicken. Combine well. Spread 1/2 of the mixture in the bottom of the prepared pan. Add 1/2 of the mozzarella and the remaining seasoning. Top off the dish with the remaining mixture and sprinkle remaining cheese on top.
