Trading Tuesday

So I decided to start a new thing… “Trading Tuesday” on Tuesdays I will post a new recipe, and my blog world friends can do the same, so we will continually have a new recipe or 10 to try from. If your family is anything like mine, they get tired of the same meals all the time. My Trading Tuesday will always include a picture of the meal as well as it will be an easy recipe so perhaps your significant other could follow the directions and cook for you :)

Chicken Broccoli Bow Tie Pasta

Ingredients needed:

2 boneless chicken breasts

1 box of bow tie pasta

1 jar of Alfredo Sauce of your choice

1 crown of broccoli

1 small handful of parsley

Garlic

Salt & Pepper

A dash of olive oil

Cut up the chicken into bite size chunks, and place in a sauté pan on the stove on low heat with a dash of olive oil and the clove of diced garlic. (Stir frequently)

Boil the pasta in another pot while sautéing the chicken.

Once chicken has been cooking for 10 minutes, add the broccoli cut up into small florets. Sauté together for an additional 10 minutes.

Drain the Pasta and set aside.

Drain the water and oil out of cooked chicken and broccoli pan.

Mix the pasta in with the broccoli and chicken. Pour 1 jar of Alfredo Sauce over mixture, stir until pasta well coated.

Sprinkle with parsley and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes and serve with a salad and garlic bread.

Side note: Fry’s is having great sales this week.

1 bag frozen chicken breasts $6.99 (7 breasts inside)

The pasta noodles are 10 for $10.00

Broccoli crowns were $1.82

Parsley $0.82

Pasta Sauce was $1.79

I made this entire meal for $7.43 and it gave us 4 servings of the bowl pictured above so definitely enough to feed an entire family, because clearly your not going to serve a kid that big bowl lol.

Enjoy, and please post a recipe for Trading Tuesday!

Yummy! I will have to try this! I think I'll add English peas instead of broccoli, though.
