Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (each about 8 ounces)
3 cups chicken broth, homemade or low-sodium canned
1 tablespoon kosher salt
6 cloves garlic, 2 smashed and 4 minced
2 sprigs flat-leaf parsley
3 slightly heaping cups small broccoli florets (about 7 ounces)
12 ounces spinach fusilli pasta (about 3/4 of a pound box)
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon chile flakes
1 cup cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, diced
1/2 cup grated Pecorino Romano, plus more to pass
Freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, combine the chicken, broth, 1 teaspoon of the salt, smashed garlic, and parsley. Bring just to a boil, remove from the heat, and set aside, covered, until just cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken, strain the broth. Pull the chicken into strips and put in a bowl with about 1/4 cup of the broth. Reserve the rest of the chicken broth.
  • Bring a large pot of cold water to a boil over high heat, then salt it generously. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Transfer broccoli with a slotted spoon to a bowl. Return the water to a boil, add the fusilli and cook, stirring occasionally until al dente to tender but not mushy, about 8 minutes.
  • While the pasta cooks, combine the minced garlic, oil, and chile flakes in a large skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until lightly browned and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the tomatoes and cook, stirring, until somewhat soft, about 1 minute. Add 1/2 cup of the broth, the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, and stir in the butter and 1/4 cup of the pecorino until incorporated. Stir in the chicken and broccoli, bring to a simmer, and remove from the heat.
  • Drain the pasta in a colander in the sink. Transfer to a bowl and toss with the remaining 1/4 cup pecorino. Pour the sauce over the pasta, season with pepper, and toss to combine. (If the sauce around the pasta seems "tight", add a little more broth, until it loosely naps the fusilli.) Serve in large bowls and pass additional cheese at the table, if desired.

1 cup chicken broth
1 cup milk
salt and pepper to taste
⅛ teaspoon chipotle chile powder
2 cups Cheddar cheese, shredded
¼ cup onion, finely diced

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat, and stir in 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add 1 cup broccoli; toss and cook just until tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle broccoli with flour, and cook 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, and bring to a boil. Pour in the milk, and stir to blend. Season with salt, pepper, and chipotle pepper powder, if desired.

Tips for Making Chicken Broccoli and Fusilli in Garlic Cream Sauce:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients prepped and measured. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
  • Cook the Chicken Properly: The chicken should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to ensure that it is safe to eat.
  • Don't Overcook the Broccoli: Broccoli florets should be cooked until they are tender but still have a slight crunch to them. Overcooking will make them mushy.
  • Use Fresh Herbs: Fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or parsley can add a lot of flavor to the dish. If you don't have fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Adjust the Sauce Consistency: If you want a thicker sauce, you can add more flour or cornstarch. If you want a thinner sauce, you can add more milk or broth.
  • Serve Immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is made. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become mushy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

Chicken broccoli and fusilli in garlic cream sauce is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of tender chicken, broccoli, and pasta in a creamy garlic sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can make this dish even more delicious and impressive.
