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.

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.

This is the worst recipe I've ever tried. The chicken was dry, the broccoli was mushy, and the sauce was tasteless.

This recipe is way too time consuming. It took me over an hour to make, and it wasn't even worth it.

I thought the recipe was a bit bland. I added some garlic and red pepper flakes to the sauce, and it really improved the flavor.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my sauce turned out really watery. Other than that, the dish was still very good.

I added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce, and it really took this dish to the next level.

I love that this recipe uses simple ingredients that I already had on hand. It's a great way to use up leftover broccoli and chicken.

This recipe is so easy to follow, even for a beginner cook like me. I was able to make this dish in under 30 minutes, and it turned out perfectly.

I'm not a huge fan of broccoli, but I loved this recipe. The broccoli was roasted until it was slightly charred, which gave it a delicious smoky flavor. The chicken was also cooked perfectly, and the sauce was creamy and flavorful.

I made this recipe last night, and it was a hit with my entire family. The broccoli and chicken were cooked perfectly, and the farfalle pasta was al dente. The sauce was creamy and flavorful, and the whole dish came together in just 30 minutes.
