Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

Ingredients:
6 oz uncooked fettuccine
1 cup fresh broccoli florets
2 Tbsp butter
1 lb skinless boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup Parmesan
1/4 tsp pepper



Prepare fettuccine. Add broccoli for last 4 minutes. Drain. Heat butter in a skillet. Add chicken till brown. Add soup, milk, cheese, pepper and fettuccine mixture. Cook until heated through.


What I did differently from the recipe:
Instead of fettuccine, I used whole wheat pasta, which I already had on hand. I used Steamfresh broccoli instead of fresh, so I just cooked it and threw it in in the end. And I only used 1 large chicken breast - it was left over from a previous recipe and I was just trying to get rid of it! This whole recipe was centered around that 1 chicken breast. Therefore, I cut everything in half except the cream of mushroom soup, because - yum!

What I'll do differently next time:
Nothing.

Verdict:
Thumbs up. At first it seemed like something was missing, but I think it just took a couple of bites to get used to the whole wheat pasta. It was actually very good and such a simple recipe!
