Skinny Chicken and Broccoli Alfredo

I was back in the kitchen last night cooking up a nice meal for Michael and myself.  I found this skinny chicken and broccoli Alfredo recipe, and I thought it'd be perfect to test it out since we haven't had a good pasta dish in quite some time.  Not only was it a great meal, but it was nice to enjoy it on our porch while the sunset.
