Method
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- Season chicken pieces with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until golden and cooked through. Transfer to the baking dish.
- Steam or blanch the broccoli florets for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain well and add to the baking dish with the chicken.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- Reduce heat to low and whisk in the heavy cream and softened cream cheese until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and has thickened. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
- Pour the Alfredo sauce over the chicken and broccoli. Stir gently to coat everything evenly. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the top.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the sauce is bubbling and the cheese is melted and golden brown. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese as it melts much smoother than pre-shredded varieties.
Ensure your cream cheese is well-softened to prevent lumps in your sauce.
Don't overcook the broccoli before baking to avoid it becoming mushy.
