Spinach Fettuccine With Chicken and Broccoli image

This recipe looks as good as it tastes! It started as a Weight Watchers recipe, but I made some modifications (don't worry - it's still healthy!). Even my 4-yr old liked it! This dish is beautiful, nutritious and filling... nice enough to serve to company! Since the chicken breasts were quite large, I had the meat counter cube them into bite-sized pieces so it would cook faster. This might look like a lot of work, but really it's not. I hope you'll give it a try!

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 bunch broccoli, cleaned and chopped
6 ounces spinach fettuccine
4 teaspoons olive oil
4 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 onion, thinly sliced and separated into rings
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (or 1/2 T. dried basil)
