Vegetable Side Dishes to Accompany Chicken Alfredo
Cooking up a delicious dinner has never been easier than with the classic Chicken Alfredo. Combining creamy cheese with savory chicken and pasta, this dish is the perfect comfort meal. But just as important as the main course is the perfect side dish. Here are some vegetable side dishes to serve with Chicken Alfredo that will make your meal complete:
Sauteed Broccoli
This side dish is a great way to add some bright flavors to the creamy pasta. To prepare the broccoli, start by heating some olive oil over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Add in some garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium and add in the broccoli florets. Saute for 5-7 minutes or until the broccoli is tender. Add in your favorite seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, to taste.
Roasted Zucchini and Squash
A perfect way to add some color and crunch to your plate is with roasted zucchini and squash. Preheat the oven to 425°F and spread the squash and zucchini on a greased baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Roast for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are golden brown and tender.
Honey Glazed Carrots
Honey glazed carrots are a great way to add some sweet, subtle flavors to a hearty dish. Begin by heating a teaspoon of oil and butter over medium heat in a large skillet. Add in the carrots and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring often. Add in 2 tablespoons of honey and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Stir until all of the vegetables are well-coated. Simmer for 8-10 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the carrots are tender.
Green Beans with Seared Shallots
This dish is full of bright flavors that add a freshness to the meal. Heat a tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add in some fresh green beans and seared shallots and sauté for 5 minutes or until the beans and shallots are both cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste.
No matter what vegetable side dish you choose, it is sure to pair perfectly with the creamy deliciousness of Chicken Alfredo. So get creative and make some out-of-this-world meals with these veggie dishes.
