Quick Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
This is an easy recipe to make if you keep pasta, alfredo sauce, chicken on hand. We are also going to add some broccoli....
 

8 oz. pasta, such as rotini or rotelle
**frozen chopped broccoli
about *16 oz. alfredo sauce
1 can (12.5 oz.) chicken chunks, do not drain

In a large pot, cook pasta until done to your preference.  In a saucepan, cook cup or two of frozen broccoli. Drain hot cooked pasta, put back in large pot; drain hot cooked broccoli, add to pasta. Turn heat to low. Stir in alfredo sauce [put 2 T. water in empty alfredo sauce jar, put on lid, shake....then add this liquid to the pasta mixture in pot]. Add undrained chicken (I usually take a moment while pasta is cooking to dump the canned chicken/liquids into a bowl, then cut the chicken chunks into smaller pieces). Cover to heat 3 minutes or so. This is a one bowl meal, makes 6 to 8 servings.

NOTES: if macaroni or spaghetti is the pasta you have on hand, that will work. Also could use fresh chicken breast, cut in bite-sized chunks and cooked ahead so it's ready to add.
 

*can make your own alfredo sauce from 'cream sauce in a jar' + dried parmesan cheese 

**can re-hydrate and cook FD broccoli to use instead of frozen (follow instructions)
