Steps:
- Cut up chicken breasts into bite sized chunks and saute in a little oil or butter until cooked through.
- While chicken is cooking, prepare the alfredo noodles in a large dutch oven, following package directions.
- Steam the frozen broccoli in another pan using a steamer, or cook it in a pan until just done.** (Steaming is better for retaining nutrients.).
- When all three are done, add the chicken and broccoli to the alfredo noodles.
- Mix well and serve with some fresh French bread from the deli.
- **Another thing you can do to steam the broccoli is to place it in a metal colander, and place the colander resting inside the dutch oven over the cooking noodles with a lid over the top. Convenient, eh?

Steps:
- In a medium saucepan or a skillet, melt butter at low heat.
- Add garlic, simmer until brown.

- For cooking the chicken you might want to marinate it a little before cooking it to give it some more flavor. I usually do mine in a little lemon juice, with salt and pepper, maybe a little garlic... depends on my mood! Stick it all in a gallon sized Ziploc bag, and make sure to coat the chicken well, and let it marinate for at least 30 minutes Can grill, broil, or even pan fry if you want.
