Low Fat "Alfredo" Chicken and Broccoli



3-4 boneless chicken breasts-cut up into bite sized pieces
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cups broccoli florets (fresh or frozen)
2 cups chicken broth
8oz. fat free cream cheese
1 packet Uncle Dan's ranch dip & salad dressing mix (no MSG!)

Saute the chicken in olive oil until almost done.
Add broccoli and 1 cup of chicken broth, continue sauteing.

Meanwhile,

In a small sauce pot cook on medium heat:
remaining chicken broth, cream cheese and packet hidden valley ranch dip mix
Cook and stir until smooth.

This turns out very saucy. You can serve it over pasta, or if you like it thicker just decrease the amount of broth.

It's also pretty salty. Next time I'll use half the pack of seasoning.

You can also add small frozen raviolis when you add the broccoli. I added butternut squash ravioli for tonight's dinner.

You can also add Parmesan cheese to the sauce or sprinkle on the top after cooking.

Erin just made this, but unfortunately, it was gone before I could get a picture. So I made my own and shared half with Abby. I had to get a picture, right?
