Tasty Tuesday: Chicken Broccoli Alfredo

Today is Tasty Tuesday, today is where I bring you the best of the best foods out in the world. I was feeling for some broccoli lately and I knew I just couldn't eat it by itself. I searched my favorite food website The Food Network and found the most delicious dish. "Chicken Broccoli Alfredo" is the name of the dish with the likes of noodles, broccoli and cut up chicken breasts. This recipe is courtesy given to The Food Network and myself by Campbells. Thank You So Much. Bon' Appetite'!

Ingredients

• 1/2 of a 16 ounce package linguine
• 1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli flowerets

Tips:

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 soup mixture.

Indian-Inspired Tip: Omit the Parmesan cheese. Substitute 3 cups cooked basmati rice and 3/4 cup cooked broccoli flowerets for the linguine and uncooked broccoli. Stir 1 teaspoon curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin into the skillet with the chicken. 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 the skillet and cook with the chicken.
