Recipe of the Week: Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
I've had a huge headache all day, so I'm running a little behind with my recipe post, and since I'm still not feeling very well, I'm keeping it short tonight. But I do want to remind everyone to stop by for my 300th post and giveaway.
Now for this week's recipe I picked something a little less fattening than last week. I imagine everyone could use a little broccoli in her life after a weekend of chocolate eating, so I'm posting this chicken broccoli alfredo recipe. It's great for an easy, quick, and healthy meal.
Recipe for Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
Ingredients
6 ounces of uncooked fettuccine (I used a cup of rotini instead, or you can try a cup of spaghetti noodles)
1 cup broccoli flowerets
1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 cup cubed cooked chicken
1/4 teaspoon pepper to season
Directions: Prepare pasta according to package directions. Add broccoli for last 4 minutes of cooking time and drain. Add soup, milk, cheese, chicken, an pepper. Heat mixture throughout, stirring occasionally

You're funny about the chocolate. I have had too many sweets.
Your recipe looks yummy and my kids love broccoli. They call them "little tree." Whatever, as long as they eat it! :-)
Thanks for joining us!

Yum! We love alfredo. I just posted a recipe for Alfredo sauce, too, with the Cheesy Chicken lasagna! :D
Have a great Tuesday!

Hmmm...my two and a half year old will eat broccoli and the rest of the ingredients. We'll have to give this a try!

That makes me giggle about the "alfredo" and less fat. I will admit that you make a great point about the broccoli though!

This is sooooo right up my alley. I prefer these white creamy sauces over the reds any day!

Kim - I love that they call them "little trees." That's cute. And yeah, I figured after a posting for an entire week on chocolate stuff, I should throw a little broccoli out there!
Thanks Sara! I still have a cold, but at least I don't have a headache...today anyway.
Felicia, Brenda, and Jerralea - Simple is what I do best! And this definitely fits into that category.
Sherry - Your recipes were great!
Michelle - I'm happy you thought it was funny. If you'll notice, we don't really make the healthiest of recipes around here. And we're big-time pasta eaters! But at least by putting a little broccoli in the mix, we can get our greens for the day!
Thanks everyone else for your comments & please come back and visit soon!
