Broccoli Chicken Alfredo


Category: Main Dish - (449)
Origin: Lebanon
Source: Yumna Jawad


The combination of pasta, chicken, and broccoli creates a creamy texture and balanced bite that will leave everyone wanting more. Top with parmesan cheese and you’ll be hoping that there’s enough left over for seconds!

Ingredients:
▢ 8 ounces rotini pasta
▢ 1 head broccoli cut into small florets
▢ 2 tablespoons butter divided
▢ 1 pound chicken breasts cut into bite-sized pieces
▢ 1 teaspoon salt divided
▢ ½ teaspoon black pepper divided
▢ 2 garlic cloves minced
▢ 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
▢ 1 ½ cups 2% milk
▢ ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese plus more for serving
Preparation:
Cook pasta according to package directions; reserve ½ cup pasta cooking water before draining; set aside.
Steam the broccoli for 2 minutes until fork tender, and toss with the cooked pasta.
Heat 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Season chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Add to skillet and cook until cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Toss with the cooked pasta and broccoli.
In the same pan, heat the remaining butter, add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add flour, then whisk to combine and cook for 1 additional minute. Slowly whisk in the milk and season with the remaining salt and pepper. Let the sauce simmer uncovered until thickened, about 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat, and fold in the parmesan cheese.
Pour the sauce over the pasta, broccoli and chicken, and stir well. Add as much of the reserved pasta water for the desired sauce thickness. Serve with more parmesan cheese, if desired.
