3 Tips When Making Creamy Chicken Broccoli Fettuccini

One: when your cooking the chicken for this Creamy Chicken Broccoli Fettuccini don’t overcook it, and be sure the saute pan is big enough to brown the chicken . Okay I know that was two.

Next, always under cook the pasta just a bit this allows for the reheat. And finally always save some pasta water, this step is easily missed.

And let me tell you, the pasta water with all it’s starch is a magical ingredient that thickens the sauce and adds more flavor. I always save more than I need just in case.

Get in the habit of always saving some of the pasta water if your boiling pasta!!

saute pan be sure to scrape all those brown bits up using a large spoon

Creamy Chicken Gnocchi

Creamy Chicken Gnocchi

Don’t let the looks of this  Creamy Chicken Gnocchi intimidate you. It’s an easy recipe when you use store bought potato gnocchi.

If you want to go the all home made route you can make my Easy Ricotta Gnocchi. But if you decide to make your owe they need to be cooked in a separate pot of rapidly boiling water until they come to the surface, about 7 minutes and than tossed in the sauce. The same is true with the marinara but marinara sauce is so easy and is one of the sauces I always have on hand. I have linked the recipes for the gnocchi and the marinara. The most important thing about marinara is to use the best tomato products, since tomatoes are the main ingredient.

My absolute favorite is La San Marzano, you can’t always find it in the supermarkets but here is the link to find it on Amazon.


Three Tips When Making Creamy Chicken Gnocchi

Size matters!!! when we’re one pan cooking. The sauté pan has to be big enough and deep enough to hold in this case both the pasta and the sauce. Here’s a link to a good all around one pan cooking pot.

Another thing that’s important is to be sure the oil and butter is hot enough to sear the chicken without burning it.

One more thing, if the sauce is to thick add a little milk if it’s too thick coat a pat of butter with flour and put it in the sauce, the last few minutes.

Ingredients

  • 3 boneless, skinless chicken breast cut in cubes

Topping White Chicken Chili

white chicken chili like all chilis it’s about the toppings. I topped this one with sour cream, lime, cheese and tortilla chips, that I cut into ribbons and air fried in my Cuisinart  toaster/air fryer.

If you don’t have an air fryer all I can say is, of all of the appliances in my kitchen it is the one I use the most. It fries, bakes, roasts and toast all in one toaster/air fryer.

Chicken Linguine Piccata

Chicken Piccata Linguine

Happy July!!! For my first post of the month Am sharing one of the most ordered meal at the restaurant Chicken Piccata Linguine.

Looking for a restaurant quality meal you can make in your own kitchen in less than 30 minutes? Here it is this creamy, lemony chicken  recipe starts off with chicken breast coated in flour then sauteed in a mixture of olive oil and butter to a golden brown.

Add in lemon, capers and artichokes toss in all together with linguine and you have a meal everyone will love.

When you need dinner quick on those busy weeknights or when you have last-minute guests coming: pasta to the rescue!

Pasta is delicious, plain and simple: think olive oil, garlic, Parmesan, and some herbs; add in chicken and a creamy, lemony sauce, and you have a guaranteed crowd pleaser!

That’s all it takes: adding pasta to this Chicken piccata recipe makes for a meal that is cause for celebration. Plus it’s a perfect way to show off what a great “home chef” you are. This recipe was inspired by my love of pasta, one of my top restaurant “luxury” meals, but I’ve made it easy for the home cook.

What Is Chicken Piccata Linguine

Chicken Piccata Linguine is nothing  more than chicken cutlets, dredged in flour, browned, cooked in a sauce of butter, lemon juice, cream and chicken stock, then tossed with linguine.It can be prepared in 30 minutes or less and it’s so easy and delicious it should be part of  every home cooks repertoire.

Traditionally it doesn’t use cream in the recipe and because I don’t drink I’ve replaced the customary white wine with chicken stock. I’ve talked here before, about the importance of saving some of the pasta water before draining, it really is the magic ingredient that thickens  and adds flavor to your pasta sauces. It’s a step that can be easily forgot, I  save more than I need just in case i need it.

I served it with pasta for an easy weeknight family meal. If you want a special occasion dressed up dinner serve it with garlic mashed potatoes and snap fresh green beans.
