Ingredient Benefits

Chicken breast
Chicken breast is a high-quality source of protein that supports muscle repair, satiety, and steady energy. Its mild flavour makes it ideal for soaking up the creamy Alfredo sauce without overpowering the dish.

Broccoli florets
Broccoli adds freshness, texture, and valuable nutrients such as fibre, vitamin C, and antioxidants. It supports digestion and immune health while balancing the richness of the sauce.

Pasta
Pasta provides comforting structure and energy, creating the foundation of the dish. Its shape helps capture the sauce, ensuring flavour in every bite.

Butter
Butter adds depth, richness, and a smooth mouthfeel. It forms the flavour base of the Alfredo sauce and enhances the overall creaminess of the dish.

Garlic
Garlic brings warmth and savoury complexity. It also contains natural compounds that support immune health and digestion while boosting flavour without heaviness.

Heavy cream
Heavy cream creates the signature Alfredo texture—silky, rich, and luxurious. It delivers satisfying fats that contribute to fullness and a velvety finish.

Parmesan cheese
Parmesan adds umami depth, saltiness, and complexity. It’s rich in calcium and protein and helps thicken the sauce naturally while intensifying flavour.

Sea salt & black pepper
These essentials enhance all the other ingredients, sharpening flavours and bringing balance to the richness of the sauce.
