Techniques
- 1½ lb chicken
- 1 lb pasta
- 1 lb broccoli
- 1½ cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- oil
- chicken seasoning
Coat the thin-sliced chicken evenly with a little oil and sprinkle with chicken seasoning; set aside.
- salted water
Cook the pasta in boiling salted water to al dente per its packet; after 5 minutes add the broccoli and cook 5 minutes more.
- ¾ cup pasta water
Heat a little oil in a pan over medium high heat; cook the chicken 3 to 4 minutes, flip, and cook another 3 to 4 minutes until fully cooked. Remove and reduce the heat to medium.
Cooking the chicken
Melt the butter in the pan, scraping the bottom. Add the minced garlic and cook about 30 seconds.
- 5 tbsp butter
- 5 cloves minced garlic cloves
- 2½ cup heavy cream
Add the heavy cream and the pasta water and bring to a simmer; taste for salt.
- ½ cup freshly grated mozzarella cheese
On low heat so the sauce does not separate, add the parmesan and the mozzarella and let them melt.
Melting in the cheese
- fresh parsley
Add the pasta and broccoli and coat with the sauce; mix in the chicken or place it on top. Garnish with fresh parsley.
