Fettuccine Alfredo With Chicken and Broccoli

This is a dish that I enjoy and my husband will eat, but isn't crazy about having, so, I make it when he's not home for dinner.  It only takes about 20 minutes to make since the sauce goes together quickly.  It takes longer to cook the pasta than any other part of the recipe!

Start the water for the pasta first.  It can come to a boil while you prepare the other ingredients.

FETTUCCINE ALFREDO WITH CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI

1 boneless chicken breast -  Smart Chicken is best
butter
heavy cream
Parmesan cheese
broccoli
olive oil
Fettuccine pasta

Slice the chicken breast across the grain about 1/2" thick
In a skillet, heat 2-3 tsp. of good olive oil
Brown the chicken on one side, turn, and sprinkle generously with black pepper
Cook chicken until done

In a saucepan, melt butter add cream and heat thouroughly
Add Parmesan cheese and keep sauce warm
*** a jar of Bertoli Alfredo sauce can be used****

Separate broccoli into florets and steam in the microwave until tender

Prepare pasta according to package directions.

When pasta is done, add the sliced chicken, broccoli and sauce.

Smart Chicken breasts are pretty large so this will make two generous servings.

  2. Sounds good but what are the amounts of ingredients? butter, cream and cheese.

  3. I'd recommend that you find a recipe online for the number of people you intend to serve. I just eyeball the ingredients since I make it in such a small quantity. Do not use pre-grated or (yuck!) the Parmesan cheese that comes in a can or you'll be disappointed with the sauce.
