Serves 6 Prep time: 20 min Cook time: 20 minutes
1 cup chicken stock
S&P
1 pound fettuccini
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 ounces finely grated good quality Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
4 thin sliced chicken breasts
1 T extra virgin olive oil
10 ounces fresh broccoli cut into florets
Bring large pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Put the broccoli into a steamer and steam for 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to warm, about 200 degrees F. Put a large serving bowl or a platter, for the pasta, into the oven to warm.
Heat a grill pan over high heat. Drizzle chicken with olive oil and season with S&P. Grill chicken until cooked through, about 7 minutes on the first side, 5 on the second. Allow to sit for 5 minutes then slice into bite sized pieces.
In a small pot over low heat, heat the chicken stock.
When the water boils, season with salt, add the pasta and cook to al dente. Just before draining, add a ladle of the starchy pasta water to the pot with the chicken stock. Drain the pasta.
Remove the bowl or platter from the oven and scatter with the butter pats. Add the pasta and pour in the chicken stock. Sprinkle with half of the cheese and toss for 1 minute. Add more cheese and continue to toss for another 1 to 2 minutes. Keep tossing until the pasta is evenly coated and cheese has melted into the saffron broth forming a creamy sauce. Toss in chicken and broccoli. Serve immediately.

Hmmm, sounds good- and all I’d have to add to my grocery list for this week would be the cheese in order to make this. I love when that happens.

Can I send my boys over for dinner? I’m a red sauce girl but all I ever hear about is, “I want white sauce” which is Alfredo. I’ll definitely be have a throw down at the house with this! Happy Campers at the table!
I think this might make it onto my Feb menu plan! This dish would be great for using up leftover chicken and broccoli!
