Chicken Penne and Broccoli in an Alfredo and Rotel Sauce.

Greetings readers,

It has been a while since I wrote on this blog. A lot has happened since then, married, moved (three times),etc. But I am still cooking like a champ. So read on and let me know what you think. It is my hope that I add to this every week...we'll see how that goes.

Today I have for you an insanely simple recipe that is sure to delight most and will take you less than 30 minutes to make. Here is what you'll need to make Chicken Penne and Broccoli in an Alfredo and Rotel Sauce: 1 Can Rotel 1 tbs of oil (any will do) 1 Jar Alfredo Sauce 16 oz Penne Pasta (or any pasta you prefer) 2 Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breasts 16 oz Broccoli Florets. Preparation: In a large pot, place water on the stove to boil. Cut your chicken into bite-sized pieces. Cooking: Boil your noodles until Al dente. Place 1 tablespoon of oil in a large sauce pan, heat to a medium temperature and place the chicken in to cook, stirring occasionally. After chicken is cooked add the alfredo sauce and drained Rotel tomatoes to the pan (hint: if you want a spicier sauce, drain the Rotel into the alfredo jar, shake the water to clear the jar of leftover sauce, and add to pan). Mix until througouly incorporated. Next, add your broccoli florets to pan and bring to a simmer. Cook until broccoli reaches your desired level of tenderness. Finally, mix the chicken, broccoli, and sauce in with the noodles to finish your easy dinner.
