Time 1h

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 boneless skinless chicken breasts
1 (10 ounce) can Rotel tomatoes & chilies
1 medium onion
2 -3 medium sized squash
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 (16 ounce) jar Classico Alfredo with sun dried tomatoes
1 (8 ounce) box penne pasta
salt and pepper
2 ounces monterey jack pepper cheese, to add even more spice Parmesan or 2 ounces cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • First, broil the chicken (4-6 minutes each side) depending on your oven. When it is white all the way through, take it out of the oven and let it cool.
  • Boil water, and once water is boiling, add box of penne pasta and cook until al dente.
  • While the water is heating up/pasta is cooking -- Dice the squash and the onion. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large pan and add the squash and onion. Right before they are finished, add garlic. Sautee until both are softened.
  • When the chicken is cooled down, tear into strips and add to the squash and onion mixture. Add the can of Rotel tomatoes & the jar of sun dried tomato alfredo sauce. Stir and add salt and pepper to taste.
  • Drain the penne pasta and toss it with the other 2 tablespoons of butter, add to the sauce, mix the sauce into the pasta well, and then grate fresh cheese on top.
  • I like to serve with Pillsbury crescent rolls -- Enjoy!

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. It's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables.

I'm not a big fan of Alfredo sauce, but this dish was still really good. The chicken and squash were cooked perfectly and the sun-dried tomatoes added a nice tang.

The chicken was a bit dry. I think I overcooked it. Other than that, the dish was delicious.

I found the Alfredo sauce to be a bit too rich for my taste. Next time, I'll try using a lighter sauce, such as a pesto or a tomato sauce.

This dish is a bit time-consuming to make, but it's worth the effort. The Alfredo sauce is especially good and really makes the dish.
