I like to try to have a dinner game plan every night. Most days I succeed. But there are some days where I will look at the clock, see it is 5:00 and realize I have no idea what I’m making or feeding my family. And honestly, if I didn’t have kiddos, hubby and I would have what I like to call a “fend for yourself night.” But I do have kiddos who are hungry and growing and need a full belly at dinnertime. So I try to make a hot meal for them every night.
RAGÚ Pasta Sauce to the rescue! If you look in my pantry right now, you will see a few jars of RAGÚ. I stock up on it when Publix has RAGÚ on sale Buy One Get One Free. Now through through Wednesday, October 11th, Publix will have RAGÚ on sale BOGO. Head HERE for more info.
One of the sauces on sale BOGO is RAGÚ® Family Size Cheese Creations Classic Alfredo Pasta Sauce (21.5 oz.). RAGÚ® Classic Alfredo is a thick, creamy Alfredo sauce that is packed with Parmesan and Romano cheeses for more flavor. It is available in 16 ounce and 21.5 ounce jars and is found on the pasta sauce aisle. It’s important to note that now through October 11th, ALL RAGÚ products will be on sale BOGO!
RAGÚ Cheese Creations Classic Alfredo Pasta Sauce is great on a variety of dishes including Chicken Alfredo. It is made with real cheese and fresh cream! I like to create different recipes with classic sauces and when I was trying to think of a recipe to create with this alfredo pasta sauce, I decided to create a recipe that I could easily throw together on a busy school night.
Cheesy Chicken and Broccoli is a recipe you can throw together last minute. As long as you have thawed chicken breasts (or shredded rotisserie chicken), frozen broccoli, rice and RAGÚ® Family Size Cheese Creations Classic Alfredo Pasta Sauce, you will be good to go!
To start cut the chicken into bite size pieces and brown it in a large pan over medium high heat.
Once the chicken is browned, add the cooked broccoli, cooked rice and RAGÚ Alfredo Sauce to the pan. Stir.
Once mixed well and bubbling, serve and top with fresh parsley. You will love this easy to make and tasty meal! I also love this recipe because you can use leftovers too! If you have leftover rotisserie chicken, cooked broccoli and cooked rice, using this sauce you will have a wonderful meal in minutes. Don’t forget that from now through Wednesday, October 11th, Publix will have RAGÚ on sale BOGO!

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
