Broccoli chicken Alfredo with Penne Pasta

We had this tonight and it was so good. All of my family loved it , too! This dinner would also work great as a casserole, too!

Broccoli chicken Alfredo with Penne Pasta

First cut 4-6 chicken breasts into strips. Saute chicken in olive oil, salt & pepper, garlic powder, 1/2 tsp. Italian seasoning.

SAUCE INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
  
• 2 teaspoons garlic powder
• 2 cups milk
• 6 ounces grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS FOR SAUCE

1. Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add milk, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with milk if cooked too long

Toss with hot pasta to serve. Top with chicken and broccoli and some grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
