My husband came up with this recipe, and it is one of the best things I have ever eaten. I can eat leftovers of this every day, and I hate leftovers. And it's so easy, it's silly.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (1 1/4 ounce) packet southwest seasoning (Southwest Marinade Seasoning Mix)
1 lb chicken breast, cubed
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons white vinegar
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 (15 ounce) jar alfredo sauce (we like Bertolli)
4 cups bow tie pasta

Steps:

  • Combine seasoning packet, water, vinegar and oil with chicken and toss to coat.
  • Marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer for extra flavor.
  • Place chicken in skillet sprayed with non-stick cooking spray, discarding excess marinade.
  • Cook chicken on medium until no longer pink, stirring occasionally.
  • Boil pasta in water for 15 minutes or until soft. Drain.
  • Add alfredo sauce to pasta and heat through.
  • Serve pasta with chicken on top!

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken breasts are best when they are cooked through but still juicy. Overcooking will make them dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce. There are many different brands of Alfredo sauce available, so be sure to choose one that you like the taste of.
  • Add your favorite toppings. Shredded cheese, diced tomatoes, and chopped green onions are all great options.
  • Serve immediately. Alfredo sauce is best when it is served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Southwest Chicken Alfredo is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It is packed with flavor and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dinner idea, give Southwest Chicken Alfredo a try!
