Easy Chicken Alfredo

We used to use a lot of the boxed dinners from Betty Crocker and Banquet, but there's just nothing like the taste of something made mostly from scratch- it's how I came up with our Beef Stroganoff recipe and several others, including this Easy Chicken Alfredo.

Ingredients-
2 Chicken Breasts
2 Chicken broth boxes
1/2 stick of butter
1 pound Penne Noodles
2 Jars Classico Alfredo (usually the Creamy Alfredo and the 4 Cheese Alfredo)
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions-

1. Simmer Chicken in broth with 1/2 stick of butter, salt and pepper until done. (I usually simmer it a couple of hours before mealtime.)
2. Drain chicken and cut into bite size pieces.
3. Add Penne Pasta to the broth.
4. Cook pasta until done, al dente- Drain in colander.
5. Mix back into pan- pasta, chicken and both jars of sauce.
6. Simmer until warmed thoroughly and serve.

The Way to a Man's Heart- Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup

I've been thinking a lot about this and since December will be the last of my SCENTsational Saturdays regarding my own favorites about perfumes and fragrances- Ironic, my favorites worked out to be just the right amount for each month this year when I started doing it.

Starting next year, I'm switching things up and turning Saturdays fully into RECIPE day, so I hope you'll continue to join me through the rest of this year and into next year, as

The Way to a Man's ♥

 gets underway.

Today I'm offering my own version of Homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. My tastes have outgrown Campbell's Basic Chicken Noodle, but though Progresso has a decent one with big noodles and chunky veggies, I'd rather have fresh chicken instead of what comes in a can and a person can only eat so much Ramen before the body says- whoa...what's up with all the salt?

 It doesn't hurt that after making this on the fly based on what I thought ought to go in typical homemade chicken noodle soup, my husband and kids love it so much, it gets suggested all the time for the menu, even when we've had it the week beforehand.

So here it is-
