Ingredients

  • 8 ounces uncooked linguine or whole wheat linguine
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli florets
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) Campbell’s® Condensed Cream of Mushroom Soup or 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup or Healthy Request® Cream of Mushroom Soup

Instructions

  • Tips

    • Grilled Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo: Substitute grilled chicken breasts for the skinless, boneless chicken.
    • Shrimp & Broccoli Alfredo: Substitute 1 pound fresh extra large shrimp, shelled and deveined for the chicken. Cook as directed for the chicken above until the shrimp are cooked through.
    • Spanish-Inspired Tip: Reduce the chicken to 1/2 pound and omit the Parmesan cheese. Prepare as directed above. Stir 1/2 pound peeled cooked shrimp, 1/4 pound chorizo or ham, diced and 1 teaspoon paprika into the soup mixture.
    • Indian-Inspired Tip: Omit the Parmesan cheese. Substitute 3 cups cooked basmati rice and 3/4 cup cooked broccoli florets for the linguine and uncooked broccoli.  Stir 1 teaspoon curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin in the skillet with the chicken. Sprinkle with toasted slivered almonds, if desired.
    • Asian-Inspired Tip: Omit the Parmesan cheese. Substitute 1 package (6 ounces) rice noodles for the linguine. Prepare as directed above. Stir 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 2 cloves garlic, minced and 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger root in the skillet and cook with the chicken
    • Easy Substitution: You can substitute spaghetti or fettuccine for the linguine in this recipe.
    • Make more for a crowd!  Use 1 pound linguine, 2 cups broccoli, 3 tablespoons butter, 1 3/4 pounds chicken, one 22.6-ounce can soup, 1 1/4 cups milk  and 1 cup cheese.  Cook as shown above but use a 6-quart saucepot.

  • Step 1

    Prepare the linguine according to the package directions in a 3-quart saucepan. Add the broccoli during the last 4 minutes of the cooking time. Drain the linguine mixture well in a colander.

  • Step 2

    Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.  Season the chicken with salt and pepper.  Add the chicken and cook until well browned and done, stirring often.
