Provided by Kanzeda

Categories     Chicken

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

8 ounces linguine or 8 ounces spaghetti
1 cup broccoli floret
2 tablespoons butter
1 lb chicken (cubed or shredded)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the linguine according to package directions.
  • Add broccoli for last 4 minutes of cooking time.
  • Drain.
  • Heat butter in skillet.
  • Add chicken and cook until browned (if precooked until heated) Combine soup, milk, cheese and pepper, whisk until smooth.
  • Add linguine mixture and heat through.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and prevent any scrambling later on.
  • Use a large skillet: This will give you plenty of room to cook the chicken and broccoli without overcrowding the pan.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: If you try to cook all of the chicken at once, it will steam instead of searing. Cooking it in batches will help you get a nice, even sear on the outside of the chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken breasts can easily become dry and tough if they are overcooked. Cook them until they are just cooked through, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Roast the broccoli: Roasting the broccoli gives it a slightly caramelized flavor and helps to bring out its natural sweetness.
  • Use a good quality Alfredo sauce: The Alfredo sauce is the key to this dish, so make sure you use a good quality sauce that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The chicken and broccoli will start to lose their flavor if they sit for too long.
