Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb boneless chicken, cut into bite size pieces (breast or tenders)
  • 2 T cornstarch
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper, freshly cracked
  • 3 T butter, ,divided
  • 1 T olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2/3 C heavy cream
  • 1/2 C chicken stock
  • 1/2 C white wine
  • 1.5 lb broccoli, cut into florets
  • 1/2 C Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 1 lb ziti or other tube pasta

Directions

  1. Bring large pot of water to boil. Season generously with salt and add pasta. During last 4 minutes of cooking, add broccoli to pot. Drain - reserve ½ C cooking water and set aside. Return pasta and broccoli back to pot.
  2. Season cornstarch with salt and pepper. Toss the chicken in the cornstarch.
  3. Heat oil and 1 T butter over medium/high heat. Add chicken (work in batches as to not overcrowd the pan) and cook a few minutes until browned, turn over and brown the other side. Remove chicken from pan and set aside on a plate. Repeat until chicken is all browned.
  4. Return pan back to burner. Pour in wine and stock and allow to reduce by about half (should take about 5 minutes), stirring to loosen the brown bits from bottom of pan (they're full of flavor). Add garlic, cook 1-2 minutes.
  5. Return chicken back to pan and allow the chicken to cook through, another 4-5 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and reduce heat to medium low, cook about 2 minutes.
  6. Pour chicken cream sauce into pot with pasta and broccoli. Stir in cheese. If sauce seems to thick, add reserved cooking water a little at a time. Add remaining 2 T butter and mix well before serving.
  7. Serve with additional cheese
