Categories     Chicken

Time 40m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 lb rapini, trimmed, stalks cut crosswise into 3-inch pieces
9 ounces fresh fettuccine
1 (14 ounce) can reduced-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
3 cups oven-roasted deli chicken, shredded
3/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon zest
salt
fresh ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  • Add the rapini and cook until crisp-tender, 2 minutes.
  • Using a slotted spoon, transfer the rapini to a large bowl of ice water.
  • Once cooled, drain rapini and set aside.
  • Add the fettuccine to the same pot of boiling water and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes.
  • Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of cooking liquid.
  • Meanwhile, bring the broth and lemon juice to a boil in a heavy large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Boil until the broth reduces by half, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the chicken and simmer just until heated through, about 2 minutes.
  • Add rapini to the chicken broth and stir to combine.
  • Add the pasta, 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese, pine nuts, parsley, oil, and lemon zest.
  • Toss to coat, adding some of the reserved cooking liquid, 1/4 cup at a time, to moisten.
  • Season the pasta with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Mound the pasta into bowls and serve.
  • Sprinkle with the remaining Parmesan cheese and serve.

This recipe is not worth the effort. It's too complicated and the end result is not that great.

I followed the recipe exactly but my dish didn't turn out well. The chicken was dry and the sauce was bland.

This dish was a bit too rich for my taste. The sauce was very heavy and the chicken was a bit greasy.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover chicken. I had some roasted chicken from a previous meal and it worked perfectly in this recipe.

I'm not usually a fan of rapini, but I was pleasantly surprised by how well it paired with the chicken and sauce in this dish. The bitterness of the rapini was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the tomatoes and the richness of the chicken.
