Heat olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add diced chicken and season lightly with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Cook 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just cooked through.
Add broccoli directly to the pan with the chicken.
Cover and cook 3–4 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
(Add a small splash of water if needed to steam.)
Reduce heat to low.
Add cooked pasta (if using) and prepared Alfredo sauce.
Stir gently until everything is coated and warmed through.
Do not let the sauce boil — low and slow keeps it creamy.
Optional cozy finish:
Add a splash of milk to loosen
Sprinkle mozzarella on top and cover 1–2 minutes to melt
