"My family loves pasta, but often the sauces are loaded with calories, so I came up with this. The soup, milk and cheese are much lighter, yet taste just as rich. I make it often on busy days and it's always a hit." Debbie Maier - Lynden, Washington

Tips:

Choose the right chicken: Boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs are both good choices for this recipe. If you're using chicken breasts, slice them thinly so they cook evenly.
Use fresh broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets are best for this recipe. If you only have frozen broccoli, thaw it completely before using.
Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken and broccoli, make sure not to overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the ingredients from cooking evenly.
Use a large skillet: A large skillet is essential for this recipe. This will give you enough room to cook the chicken, broccoli, and fettuccini noodles without overcrowding the pan.
Season the chicken and broccoli: Before cooking, season the chicken and broccoli with salt, pepper, and garlic powder. This will help to enhance the flavor of the dish.
Cook the fettuccini noodles according to the package directions: While the chicken and broccoli are cooking, cook the fettuccini noodles according to the package directions. Drain the noodles and set them aside.
Add the fettuccini noodles to the skillet: Once the chicken and broccoli are cooked, add the fettuccini noodles to the skillet. Stir to combine.
Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately. Garnish with Parmesan cheese and parsley, if desired.

Conclusion:

This chicken and broccoli fettuccini skillet dinner is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for busy weeknights. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken and broccoli. The dish is flavorful, filling, and sure to please the whole family. Plus, it is a one-pot meal, which means less cleanup!
