Cheddar Broccoli Skillet Dinner with Chicken Recipe
I am all about saving money while giving my family a dinner that they will love. With a family my size, I really do need all the help I can get getting an inexpensive dinner on the table, quickly. While I love making dinner from scratch, sometimes using something as a jump start can save me money and time. Knorr Sides is a great way to do just that. Using a recipes from the Free Recipe Book, I can make a dinner to feed my family for under $10. As a bonus, if you stop into one of the Giant Eagle stores and buy $10 in Knorr sides at 10/$10, you will get a $3 off frozen cooked or uncooked shrimp from the seafood department to use on your next visit.

Cheddar Broccoli Skillet Dinner with Chicken Recipe
INGREDIENTS
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1/2 lb.)
2 Tbsp. I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter!® Spread
1 small tomato, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups water
1/2 cup milk
1 package Knorr® Pasta Sides™ – Cheddar Broccoli
DIRECTIONS
Add a little salt and pepper to the chicken. I prefer to cut my chicken into bit sized pieces. It is a great way to stretch a little chicken and have it go a longer way. You can leave it whole or cut into pieces. Melt the spread in large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
Add tomato and saute for 3 minutes. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Stir in water and milk and bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in Knorr® Pasta Sides™ – Cheddar Broccoli and continue boiling over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 10 minutes or until pasta is tender.
Add chicken back in during the last 2 minutes. Serve with a vegetable for a quick, easy and inexpensive dinner,

This skillet dinner looks delicious. I just need to use some gluten free noodles.

What a great way to take the starter and make it your own. My boys love any pasta dish without red sauce (and some with it).

Pasta sounds like a nice easy but filling dinner. I sometimes wish my daughter wasn’t allergic to dairy. Cheese just looks so good.

I love cheddar, broccoli, and chicken together. However, I’m use to them being combined with rice and not pasta. I’m going to have to give this a try.

I don’t believe there were any comments from anyone who actually tried this recipe. I had a bag of Knorr Pasta Cheddar Broccoli that I am going to make for dinner. I wanted to do something a little different so I found this recipe. I didn’t follow it completely as it is written. I actually did not add the tomatoes. I also had to add a little more water and milk because my pasta was not quite done and liquid was boiling away. I boiled it for a few more minutes longer than the recipe states. I know that this Knorr side needs seasoning so I added some salt and pepper. I was going to have broccoli as a side so I just threw it in when I put the noodles in. I also added some cheese.
