Luscious + Creamy Chicken Pasta Alfredo Recipe Is a Weeknight Dinner Winner
With one-third less fat and calories than the classic, enjoy – almost guilt-free
On busy weeknights, the last thing I want to do is slave over a hot stove to get dinner on the table. That’s why I’m always looking for dishes that are easy to prepare yet only taste like I’ve been cooking all day. That’s why this Chicken Alfredo Pasta recipe is ideal. It’s ready to eat in in just 25 minutes. Best of all, this creamy bowl is absolutely delicious.
To achieve a perfectly crisp-tender texture for broccoli, we toss it in with the pasta during cooking. This saves a step of having to steam the veggie and dirty another pot. Then we have a short-cut trick to creating the luscious sauce. We start with a can of condensed soup. How easy is that? Brown the chicken first, then simmer in the sauce with garlic and milk. All that’s left to do is toss it all together. Dinner, done! Give it a try then let us know what you think.
