Number Of Ingredients 13

1 (16 ounce) package rotini pasta, uncooked
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 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. Reduce heat to medium, and simmer mixture until sauce thickens, 8 to 10 minutes. Mix in 1 cup Cheddar cheese and stir until melted. Remove from heat.

BROCCOLI & CHICKEN FARFALLE



Broccoli & Chicken Farfalle image

Broccoli florets and seasoned chicken breast tossed in a creamy cheese sauce with farfalle (bow-tie pasta). I generally don't measure when I cook so all measurements are approximate. Feel free to add less of more of anything to suite your taste.

Provided by AshleyTruckley

Categories     < 30 Mins

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cooked boneless skinless chicken breasts, diced
2 1/2 cups broccoli florets
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 cup dry white wine
1 cup chicken broth (or 1 cup water with 2 tsp liquid chicken boullion)
1/2 cup cream
1 cup old cheddar cheese, grated
3 -4 cups farfalle pasta

Steps:

  • For the chicken, cook however you want. Grilled, baked, fried, poached. I prefer to seanson with 1 tsp of italian seasoning and grill, but this you can do to your personal preference.
  • Bring a pot of water to a boil. Salt boiling water and cook pasta until done.
  • Meanwhile, steam broccoli florets. I do this in the microwave just to cut down on time. Place broccoli in a bowl with about an inch of water. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Make a slit in the plastic for steam to escape. Microwave for 1 1/2 minutes or until desired tenderness is reached.
  • Melt butter in a small pot on Medium-low heat. Add flour and garlic powder and whisk to form a roux. Cook for a few minutes. Add wine and whisk until it is evaporated. Add in chicken stock and then the cream, whisking the whole time.
  • **You need to work quick once you add the wine. If your pot is too hot when you add the wine it can turn your roux into a dough which won't mix into your liquids well.
  • Allow mixture to cook until it begins to thicken. Whisking often to ensure it does not burn. Once thickened add in cheese.
  • **whisk in a zig zag motion to ensure that the grated cheese doesn't turn into a ball in the sauce.
  • Toss pasta with broccoli and chicken and serve.

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any scrambling.
  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh ingredients will give your dish the best flavor. If possible, buy organic produce and free-range chicken.
  • Don't overcook the chicken: Chicken is a delicate protein, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook it until it is just cooked through, or it will become dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in this dish, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that melts well. I recommend using a sharp cheddar or Parmesan cheese.
  • Season to taste: Be sure to taste your dish as you're cooking it and adjust the seasonings accordingly. You may need to add more salt, pepper, or garlic powder to taste.
