What's better than creamy alfredo combined with grilled chicken and crisp green broccoli florets? Not anything I can think of. This is super easy and sooo good!

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
16 ounces frozen broccoli
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
16 ounces alfredo sauce
16 ounces whole wheat penne
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder

Steps:

  • Place chicken on cutting board and pound out lightly with a meat mallet. You don't want to flatten the chicken totally.
  • Mix together salt, pepper and garlic powder. Sprinkle on chicken.
  • Grill chicken 8-10 minutes per side or until center is no longer pink. Set chicken aside.
  • Bring one gallon of water to a boil and cook penne 7-8 minutes until al dente. Drain.
  • While the pasta is cooking, saute the minced garlic and diced onion in the olive oil until the onion begins to soften.
  • Add broccoli to the onion and stir to coat with oil. Cook broccoli until it is heated through.
  • Add the alfredo sauce to the broccoli and stir to combine. Allow to heat thorough and remove from heat.
  • Toss alfredo mixture with the cooked and drained pasta.
  • Top with sliced chicken breats and parmesan cheese.
  • Serve with a crisp green salad and garlic bread.
  • * If alfredo sauce is too thick, add 2-3 tablespoons of milk to thin it out.
