One night I had a hankering for Alfredo sauce (yumm... Parmesan), and I had chicken and broccoli on hand, so I decided to put them together in one quick dish. A few other ingredients and a new classic was born!
Chicken Broccoli Alfredo
Ingredients:
2 boneless chicken breasts, cubed
1/2 bag broccoli crowns
1/2# baby bella mushrooms, quartered
2 to 4 T. Wondra flour
1 to 2 cups skim milk
2 T. butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup Parmesan cheese
Handful of fresh basil, chopped
1 T. dried oregano
Salt/pepper to taste
2 cups cooked white rice
Directions:
Start the white sauce in a small pot, making 1 to 2 cups, as desired (we like our meals moist, so I use the max). Follow the directions on the Wondra can, mixing the flour into the milk and butter combination, seasoning as desired. When sauce is thickened, add 3/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Meanwhile, brown the garlic in a little olive oil in a large frying pan. Add the mushrooms and then the chicken chunks and pan broil until both are browned and cooked well. Season them with salt/pepper as needed and the chopped basil and oregano.
While the chicken and veggies are cooking, steam the broccoli in a separate pot. Add it into the frying pan with the white sauce. Mix all together and serve over cooked white rice. Sprinkle the top with the rest of the Parmesan and add a few sprigs of fresh basil.
This goes together in a hurry, but tastes like you slaved over a hot stove for much longer. It's elegant enough for a company meal. For a well-balanced meal, serve with a green salad and crusty Italian bread. One of our new faves! Hope you like it too...
Variations
- Serve over noodles, pasta or spaghetti, instead of rice
- Add other veggies, such as carrots or cauliflower
- Mix in mozzarella cheese
- Add some white wine into the frying pan after the veggies and chicken are done and cook on medium high to reduce
- Make a Hollandaise sauce instead of Alfredo sauce and change the seasonings to match
