Very easy and delicious. My grown son asks for this often. I serve it with garlic bread.

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 oz fettucine pasta
2-3 c broccoli florets
4 Tbsp butter, divided
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper, to taste
1/8 c all purpose flour
1/2 small onion, diced
5-6 clove fresh garlic, minced, to taste
2 c heavy cream
1 c grated parmesan cheese, to taste
additional parmesan cheese to sprinkle on top

Steps:

  • 1. Cook fettuccine al dente according to package directions; during last 4 minutes, add broccoli florets. Drain and keep warm in large serving bowl.
  • 2. While pasta is cooking, prepare chicken. (see note)
  • 3. Cut chicken into bite-sized cubes. Add salt and pepper to flour; coat chicken pieces with flour mixture.
  • 4. Heat 12-inch skillet; add 2 Tbsp. butter. Add chicken pieces and cook until no longer pink. Remove from skillet.
  • 5. Add another 2 Tbsp. butter to skillet. Add onions and garlic; cook 1 minute. Add cream and cook additional 3 minutes until it reduces slightly. Add cheese and stir well until cheese is blended and melted.
  • 6. Return chicken pieces to cream mixture; stir to coat. Pour chicken and cream mixture over drained pasta. Stir to coat pasta with sauce.

  • 8. NOTE: Instead of using the uncooked chicken breasts, we grill them and then cut into bite-sized chunks. Gives the dish much more flavor.
