Another warm day....

It's almost 5:00 pm and it is 85 degrees according to the temperature app on my computer.  I haven't ventured out of my air-conditioned cocoon to check it out for myself.  My daughter, Mysti has a passion for Olive Garden's, Garlic- Herb Chicken Con Broccoli, in fact I think it is about the only thing I've seen her order from Olive Garden since she was young.  Since we don't have any Olive Garden's  close to us we came up with our own version of the dish.  This is it:

Easy Chicken Con Broccoli

Very similar to Olive Garden's.
Serves: 4
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts
6 ounces fettuccini pasta
2 teaspoons olive oil or veg. oil
1 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 jar alfredo sauce
In salted water cook the fettucine until al dente.  Steam the broccoli until crisp tender.  Brown the chicken and garlic in the oil until browned or both sides and juices run clear.  Cut the checked into cubes.  Drain the broccoli and fettucine.  In the pot the pasta was cooked in combine the chicken, broccoli, pasta and alfredo sauce.  Heat through.

Enjoy!!
