Another yummy creation!

So this week started out like most of the others... work was sucking, no energy and the pantry was low. So on Tuesday I had Tim stop by the store to do my shopping. What a good boy! He called a few times with some questions as to the location of certain items i.e. chicken stock and shortening! On this weeks menu I thought Creamy Chicken Alfredo pasta with brocolli. So last night while Tim was outside cutting our grass I decided to start hashing out my plan for the new recipe of the week. I will say this by far the best recipe! I may have to stop going to the Olive Garden for my alfredo fixes. I found this recipe on www.allrecipes.com Please check this recipe out!

Creamy Chicken With Pasta and Broccoli
PREP TIME
15 Min
COOK TIME
20 Min
READY IN
35 Min


INGREDIENTS
1 pound uncooked spaghetti
1 pound broccoli florets
1 tablespoon margarine
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into strips
1/2 cup chopped onions
1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup
2/3 cup milk
2/3 cup water
1 (3 ounce) package cream cheese, cubed and softened
3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Place spaghetti in the pot, and cook 4 minutes. Mix in the broccoli florets. Continue cooking 4 to 6 minutes, until spaghetti is al dente. Drain, and transfer to a large bowl.
Melt the margarine in a skillet over medium heat, and cook the chicken and onion 5 minutes, until chicken juices run clear and onions are tender.
In a bowl, whisk together the soup, milk, water, and cream cheese until smooth. Stir into the skillet with the chicken and onion, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and simmer 5 minutes, or until slightly thickened. Toss in the bowl with the spaghetti and broccoli to serve.

Once again I emailed Heather, Rachel and my cousin Sandra with the recipe and my RAVE! The only thing that I might of done differently was start cooking the chicken before the noodles. The noodles were done way before the chicken. Also I added a tad bit more grated parm cheese. I added that to the pasta and broccoli while the sauce was thinken up.

I also found a recipe for Pumpkin cookies on allrecipes, but I have yet to make those! So maybe next week I will make that. You never know what I may try and cook!
