Cook pasta: Boil salted water in a large pot. Add tagliatelle or fettuccine and cook until al dente. In the last two minutes of cooking, add broccoli florets. Reserve some pasta water before draining.
Season chicken: Rub chicken breasts with olive oil and spices (paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano). Cook in a skillet over medium-high heat until golden brown and cooked through.
Make Alfredo sauce: In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic. Add heavy cream, simmer for 2-3 minutes, then stir in Parmesan cheese and season with salt and pepper.
Combine: Toss cooked pasta, broccoli, and cherry tomatoes in the Alfredo sauce. Slice the blackened chicken and place atop the pasta.
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or chili flakes if desired.
