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:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for organic, free-range chicken, and fresh broccoli and farfalle pasta.
  • Cook the chicken thoroughly: Chicken should be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked through.
  • Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp. Overcooking will make it mushy.
  • Use a good quality cream sauce: The cream sauce is the key to this dish. Make sure to use a sauce that is thick and creamy. You can use a store-bought sauce or make your own.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately. The pasta will start to absorb the sauce and become soggy if it sits for too long.

Conclusion:

This creamy chicken and farfalle with broccoli is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, broccoli, and creamy sauce is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve with a side of salad or bread for a complete meal.
