This recipe is great for any night of the week whenever you want something that is simple but very flavorful.
Ingredients
½ Lb pasta noodles (I used thin spaghetti but any would work)
1½ C chopped broccoli
3 chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 jar alfredo sauce
2 C spinach leaves (I used fresh but frozen would work as well)
1 Tbsp minced garlic
Instructions
In a large pot of water cook the pasta noodles according to package directions. In addition, add in the chopped broccoli about halfway through the pasta cooking process. Meanwhile, heat a medium size frying pan on medium heat, add a tbsp of olive oil, season chicken with salt and pepper, then cook chicken until browned on both sides. Set aside to cool.
When noodles and broccoli are done, strain then return pot to the stove over medium low heat. Add 1 tbsp olive oil and minced garlic to pot, stir until fragrant about 1 minute. Stir in the alfredo sauce then add the spinach and stir after about 1 minute. Continue to stir until the sauce is heated through then stir in the pasta and broccoli. As it heats up, cut up the cooled chicken breast into small strips and add to the pot. Stir thoroughly making sure everything is fully coated with the alfredo sauce. Serve hot!
