  • Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo

    I found this recipe in the coupon section of the newspaper.  I made it last week, and it is really good, and really easy.

    Campbell's® Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo

    From: Campbell's Kitchen
    Prep: 10 minutes
    Cook: 20 minutes
    Serves: 4

    Ingredients:
    • 1/2 of a 16 ounce package linguine
    • 1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli flowerets
    • 2 tbsp. butter
    • 1 lb. skinless, boneless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
    • 1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup (Regular, 98% Fat Free or 25% Less Sodium)
    • 1/2 cup milk
    • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1/4 tsp. ground black pepper
    Directions:
    • Prepare the linguine according to the package directions in a 3-quart saucepan. Add the broccoli during the last 4 minutes of the cooking time. Drain the linguine and broccoli well in a colander.
    • Heat the butter in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned, stirring often.
    • Stir the soup, milk, cheese, black pepper and linguine mixture into the skillet. Heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot and bubbling. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese.


    Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo: Substitute grilled chicken breasts for the skinless, boneless chicken.

    Shrimp & Broccoli Alfredo: Substitute 1 pound fresh extra large shrimp, shelled and deveined for the chicken. Cook as directed in Step 2 until the shrimp are cooked through.

    Spanish-Inspired Tip: Reduce the chicken to 1/2 pound and omit the Parmesan cheese. Prepare as directed above. Stir 1/2 pound peeled cooked shrimp, 1/4 pound chorizo or ham, diced and 1 teaspoon paprika into the skillet in Step 3.

    Indian-Inspired Tip: Omit the Parmesan cheese. Substitute 1 cup uncooked basmati rice for the linguine. Prepare as directed above. Stir 1 teaspoon curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin into the skillet in Step 3. Sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds, if desired.

    Asian-Inspired Tip: Omit the Parmesan cheese. Substitute 1 package (6 ounces) rice noodles for the linguine. Prepare as directed above. Stir 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 cloves garlic, minced and 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root in to the skillet with the chicken in Step 2.

    When heating leftovers in the microwave, add a little milk to get the creaminess back.  I think I will make this again and probably try one of the variations.
