Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

I ran across this recipe while I was clipping coupons. I didn't think my family would like it all that much, but I tried it anyway. I like to try new recipes to get out of our rut of meals. Little did I know, it would become one of my family's favorite meals. This recipe is from Campbell Soup. I made one change. The original recipe calls for Cream of Mushroom Soup. I use Cream of Chicken Soup, instead. I serve this dish with a crusty Italian Bread. I got the Italian Bread recipe from Tammy's Recipes.

Ingredients

• 8 oz. of linguine noodles
• 1 c. fresh or frozen broccoli
• 1 lb. of cooked chicken, cut into pieces
• 1 can of Cream of Chicken Soup
• 1/2 c. milk
• 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese
• black pepper to taste

Directions

Prepare linguine according to package. Add broccoli during last 4 minutes of cooking time. Drain linguine and broccoli well in colander.

In a skillet; combine soup, milk, cheese, and linguine mixture. Add chicken. Add black pepper to taste. (I add a little garlic salt, too.) Cook until mixture is hot and bubbling.

This recipe is a great way to make meat stretch to make it seem like more than it really is. It was suggested you could replace the chicken with shrimp. I am sure you could use fresh or frozen peas instead of broccoli. It is a simple quick meal to put together. Enjoy!
