- •2 teaspoons Kosher salt
- •1 teaspoon pepper
- •Whole Milk(1560g)

Instructions
- 1Cook the bacon in a large pot over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until crispy and browned. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble and set aside.
- 2Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. Add to the same pot and cook over medium-high heat for 6–8 minutes, stirring frequently, until no longer pink and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- 3Add the fresh garlic to the pot and cook for 1–2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, until fragrant. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 4Pour in the whole milk and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 2–3 minutes. Add the fettuccine, stir well to separate, and cook uncovered for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta just begins to soften and bend slightly.
- 5Stir in the broccoli florets, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat for 7–8 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is al dente and the broccoli is tender-crisp.
- 6Remove from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan until melted and fully incorporated into the sauce. Add the crumbled bacon back in and mix until evenly distributed.
- 7Divide the pasta evenly into 6 airtight containers while hot. Cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.
- 8To reheat, transfer to a pot, add a splash of milk if needed, and warm over medium heat for 3–4 minutes, stirring gently, until heated through.
