Chicken & Broccoli Fettucini Alfredo

Photobucket

1/2 of a 16 oz package of fettucini, cooked and drained
1 package frozen broccoli cuts
3 tablespoons butter or margarine
3 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon pepper
2 1/4 cups milk
2 cooked skinless boneless chicken breasts( I cut mine into chunks and sauteed in a teensy bit of oil seasoned with salt and pepper )
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, for sauce
1/2 cup shredded mozzerla cheese for top

Cook pasta 13 minutes: drain and set aside.

While that is cooking take your frozen broccoli and put in a bowl with a little bit of water and microwave to steam until tender. I usually add a litle it of salt and pepper. Seasoning each layer as you cook. Also can be done on the stovetop.

For Sauce: In large saucepan, melt butter or margarine. Stir in flour, basil, salt, and pepper. Cook about a minute to get the flour taste cooked out. Slowly wisk in your milk. Cook and stir until thick and bubbly. Remove from heat.

Stir in chicken, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and well drained broccoli. Add pasta and toss to coat.

Sprinkle mozzerella cheese on top and viola! Italiano baby!
