3. Add soup, pesto sauce and milk. Bring to a boil. Cook over low heat from 5 minutes or until done. Stir in drained pasta and heat through.
*The dish will have a green tent to it because of the pesto sauce. Yummy! It won't stain your teeth. Haha!

This dish is WONDERFUL!! 
* Serve with another side, maybe corn, carrots, or green beans.
* We had bread with our dinner as well. Yummy!!

Again, I'm sorry that I didn't take a picture of this one either. Just trust me that this one is GREAT!! 

Chicken & Broccoli Alfredo

Recipe from CAMPBELL's 1-2-3 Dinner
Prep/Cook Time: 20 Minutes

Ingredients:
1/2 package uncooked linguine (8 ounces)
1 cup fresh or frozen broccoli flowerets
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) CAMPBELL's Cream of Mushroom Soup or 98% Fat Free Cream of Mushroom Soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1. Prepare linguine according to package directions. Add broccoli for the last 4 minutes of cooking time. Drain. (I had to cook the noodles for about 5 extra minutes to make sure the noodles and broccoli were done.)
2. In large skillet over medium-high heat, heat butter. Add chicken and cook until browned, stirring often. (My chicken never really browned but I cooked it through. There will be some water in the bottom but you don't have to drain it out. Also, I added some salt and pepper while cooking the chicken.)
3. Add soup, milk, cheese, pepper, and linguine mixture and cook through, stirring occasionally. Serve with additional Parmesan cheese.
Makes 4-5 servings
*You may want to add some Garlic salt to the soup mixture for a little extra flavor.

This was really EASY and very GOOD! Sorry I don't have a picture of this dish but has a very pretty presentation when put in a nice bowl.

ENJOY!!
