Dinner tonight!!!

If you are in need of an idea for dinner tonight - here's my idea!!

All of the ingredients are on sale, but this sale ends tonight!!

Grocery List for Chicken Alfredo with roasted Asparagus (from Safeway)

Frozen Chicken (4 lbs bag) on sale $9.98 (with coupon $7.98)
Ronzoni pasta on sale $1/box
Ragu alfredo sauce (I used the garlic - yum) on sale $1.49 (with coupon $.99)
Asparagus on sale $1.28/lb

* Bonus meal idea....
If you are using coupons use your $5 off $15 from the freezer department and pick up something for dinner tomorrow. (I bought 3 California Pizza Kitchen Pizza's using the freezer coupon and the 3 coupons from the Safeway Frozen Foods booklet.)
Check out http://thekrazycouponlady.com:8080/2011/03/04/0-25-cpk-pizzas-at-safeway/ to see how to do this! ($1.57 a pizza is pretty good - dinner tomorrow too!)
Add a salad to the pizza and you've got a quick, healthy, and inexpensive meal for tomorrow!!


Easy Chicken Alfredo with Roasted Asparagus Recipe

Step 1 -Defrost 1 pound of chicken, cube and fry in olive oil with garlic.

Step 2 - Add Ragu Alfredo sauce to cooked chicken. I also rinse jar with some milk and add that too. Let chicken simmer in sauce.

Step 3 - Boil water and cook your pasta. I used angel hair - so it cooks quickly (4 min)
Cover asparagus with olive oil, place on pan and broil in oven (about 5-7 min).

Step 4 - Drain pasta, and add a bit of olive oil to prevent sticking. Now plate pasta with sauce on top and add asparagus for the side. Done!!!

Enjoy -my husband rated at 5 stars!!!! And he's a picky eater....more about that later! :)
