Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo Recipes
This is a quick and simple boneless chicken recipe. If you are looking for an easy chicken and broccoli fettuccine alfredo recipe, you will love this one. The boneless chicken combines wonderfully with the flavors of broccoli, mushroom, and cheese. You can use fettuccine or spaghetti. Fettuccine are thin, flat ribbons of pasta which are rather like tagliatelle and spaghetti is more rounded. They taste similar in terms of flavor but some people prefer one over the other because of the slightly different textures. For a healthy change, you might like to use whole wheat spaghetti, which is nutty and tasty.
Traditional chicken and broccoli alfredo recipes use cream but this one uses creamy mushroom soup instead which gives the same delicious creamy texture but also the flavor of mushrooms. If you want to alter this recipe, you can use green peas instead of the broccoli. You might also like to add a few sliced fresh mushrooms, for an earthier flavor and for more freshness. It depends what vegetables you have available, that need using up, and what kind of texture you want the finished dish to have. Obviously adding more vegetables makes it chunkier.
Using fresh vegetables in this easy chicken and broccoli fettuccine alfredo recipes gives the best results and this is quite a nutritious dish, as well as a very simple one to prepare. Italian chicken dishes like this chicken and broccoli alfredo can be made using shortcuts such as the mushroom soup instead of cream, but without sacrificing any flavor.
