 Preheat oven to 350
Cook pasta according to directions on box (I always add a little salt to my pasta while it's cooking)
Steam or cook broccoli until it is a darker green, so about 5 minutes
In bottom of a 9x13 dish pour less than half of the Alfredo sauce (enough to cover bottom)
In a large bowl pour the rest of the pasta sauce
Drain cans of chicken and add to pasta sauce and stir
