Even Easier Chicken Broccoli or Spinach Alfredo created by Outta Here

I whipped this up in a rush one night and it instantly became a family favorite. It is a twist from my granmother's recipe but much more flavorful.

We liked this recipe but it really wasn't better than a sum of its parts. Sometimes recipes come together to make some really wonderful. My family said the flavor was bland for a "recipe." We could have boiled pasta and added jarred sauce and got a similar flavor in their opinion. I thought the cream, garlic and shredded cheese added a little oomph but my picky eaters disagreed. We probably won't make again.

Very good! And easy as promised. This was for the Pick-A-Chef game, Fall '06. I used a lowfat alfredo sauce, fat-free half and half, and both spinach (frozen) and fresh broccoli. Great Friday night after work, quick dinner! (I didn't have any cooked chicken on hand, so poached a breast in white wine with garlic and a chopped shallot). Thanks for posting this!
