Chicken Fettuccine with Broccoli

  

You can cook the broccoli with the pasta to save time -- and simplify the cleanup!

 

 

1 tablespoon 

 

olive oil

 

1

 

medium onion, chopped

 

1

 

medium sweet red pepper, cored, seeded, and cut lengthwise into thin strips

 

1/4 teaspoon 

 

each dried rosemary and thyme, crumbled

 

8 ounces 

 

fettuccine or linguine

 

1-1/2 cans 

 

frozen broccoli florets, unthawed

 

12 ounces 

 

skinned boneless chicken breasts, cut crosswise into strips 1/2 inch cubes

 

1/4 cup 

 

dried white wine, dry vermouth, or water

 

2 teaspoons 

 

instant chicken bouillon granules

 

1/2 teaspoon 

 

black pepper

 

1/2 cup 

 

half and half cream

 

1/4 cup 

 

grated parmesan cheese

 

 

 

 

1

Heat the oil in a 12-inch skillet over moderate heat for 1 minute. Add the onion, red pepper, rosemary, and thyme; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, for 8 minutes or until soft.

2

Meanwhile, cook the fettuccine according to package directions, adding the broccoli during the last 4 minutes.

3

Drain the fettuccine and broccoli well, place in a large serving dish, cover with foil, and keep warm.

4

Raise the heat under the skillet to moderately high and stir in the chicken, wine, bouillon granules, and black pepper. Cook, uncovered, stirring often, until the chicken is no longer pink on the inside -- about 5 minutes.

5

Add the half and half, lower the heat to moderate, and cook, stirring, 1 to 2 minutes more -- just until it reaches serving temperature. Ladle over the fettuccine and broccoli and sprinkle with the cheese.
