Bertuccis Rigatoni With Chicken And Broccoli Recipe 375

Steps:

• Fill a medium pot two-thirds with cold water, cover, and bring to a boil.
• Separately, and in a large, 12" skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken in single layer, and cook for about 2 minutes or until it is lightly browned. Turn the chicken over and continue to cook for two minutes more, or, until it is lightly browned on the other side (the chicken will not be completely cooked at this point). Transfer the chicken to a small bowl and set aside.
• To the same skillet that was used for the chicken, add the onion and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next, add the garlic, salt, red pepper flakes and thyme and cook for another minute or so, making sure it does not burn. Stir in the flour and cook for 30 seconds more. Add the white wine to deglaze the skillet, and once it comes to a simmer add the chicken broth. Bring the mixture again to a simmer, then lower the heat and cook until sauce has thickened slightly, about 10 to12 minutes.
• While the sauce is simmering, salt the boiling water generously and add the broccoli florets. Cook for only about 2 to 3 minutes. With a slotted spoon, lift the broccoli out of the pot to bowl and set aside.
• Return the water in the pot to a boil and add the pasta. Cook until al dente, drain and reserve ½ cup of the pasta cooking water (to thin out the sauce if needed). Return the pasta to pot. (the time for cooking al dente will depend on the pasta you use).
• Once the sauce is thickened, add the sun-dried tomatoes and the reserved chicken along with any accumulated juices to the skillet. Simmer for a few minutes until the chicken is cooked through. Taste the sauce and adjust the seasoning if needed.
• Spoon the chicken and sauce mixture over the pasta in the pot, add broccoli and toss gently to combine. If the mixture is too dry, add some of the reserved cooking water. Sprinkle the Parmigiano-Reggiano and mix again.
• Serve in warm pasta bowls with some fresh basil and extra Parmigiano-Reggiano on the side.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, saute the garlic and tomatoes in olive oil. In a large pot, cook the pasta according to the package directions; Drain. Season the chicken pieces with black pepper and add to the skillet. Cook the chicken over MEDIUM heat on both sides until it is no longer pink in the center.

Remove the broccoli and sprinkle with Parmesan Cheese. Continue baking for an additional 5 minutes. Add the roasted broccoli and the drained pasta to the skillet. *Drizzle a little olive oil over the pasta to ensure that it doesn't dry out and stick together.* Toss the ingredients in the skillet together with a dusting of Parmesan Cheese and serve hot with garlic bread.
