This is a Weight Watchers recipe with modifications.
1 large chicken breast, cut in pieces
8 oz. multi grain pasta
1- (10 oz) package refrigerated light Alfredo sauce (I used bottled Barilla and it was very good)
1/2 c sun dried tomatoes, juliened
Precooked Bacon (I used Hormel real bacon bits from Sam's Club)
3-4 T chopped fresh basil
1/4 t. ground pepper
Cook chicken over the stove, adding 2 cloves crushed garlic, 1 T olive oil and a dash of white wine (optional).
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta cooks, combine Alfredo sauce and tomatoes in saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring occassionally, until tomatoes are juicy and plump. Microwave bacon according to package directions and crumble.
The recipe suggests combining pasta and sauce, I wanted to control my Alfredo intake, so I dished up the pasta, covered with chicken, then topped with Alfredo sauce, bacon bits, and basil.
I also think cooked mushrooms would be good in this dish. You could serve it with a green vegetable, salad, or breadsticks. Quick and easy.
