My long lost Garlice Herb Chicken Con Brocoli
As a tribute to something I can never have back I am pasting the recipe here so as never to forget. Looking on the bright side, this will no longer be a hindrance to my weight management.
1 lb. chicken breasts with seasonings (1-2 tsp. dried basil, parsley and rosemary; 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes; salt and pepper to taste. Rub into chicken breasts. I also flattened the chicken with a rolling pin before seasoning.)
2 tsp. olive oil
4 oz. dry pasta (I used medium shells as they were the closest thing I could find to the way they serve it at the Olive Garden)
1 c. heavy whipping cream
2 T. butter
2 tsp. minced garlic
2 tsp. cornstarch
1 c. fresh broccoli florets
salt and pepper to taste
2 T. grated Parmesan cheese
Cook chicken in olive oil until done and browned. Set aside.
Cook pasta until "almost" done. Drain.
Stir butter and garlic in saucepan. Cook until garlic caramelizes. Add cream and cornstarch and stir on medium heat until thickened. Add pasta. Stir in chicken and broccoli and simmer until noodles are done.
Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and salt and pepper to taste.
