  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

Preparing the Chicken Breasts

  • In a small bowl, combine the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, oregano, basil.
  • Take half of the spice mixture and sprinkle each chicken breast on both sides and gently rub the spices into each piece.
  • Let the chicken sit for 30 minutes to absorb some of the spices.
  • Meanwhile, in a large gallon plastic bag, put in the flour and panko bread crumbs. Add the remaining spices and closet the bag. Shake it vigorously to combine the spices and flour together.
  • While your chicken is absorbing its spices, fill your large boiling pot with water to begin preparing the fettucine noodles.
  • Once you get your water on to boil, go ahead and grab your chicken and get it ready to bread.
  • Take the four chicken breasts and open up your gallon plastic bag with flour, bread crumbs and spices. Add the chicken breasts to the bag and close and seal it back up. Shake the bag to coat all of the chicken. Massage the bag with the chicken breast inside and make sure that all chicken breasts are completely coated.
  • Let the chicken sit in the bag for a few minutes. If your water is boiling, go ahead and add your noodles and boil. If you have an electric skillet, make sure it is plugged in and turned on to a setting of 250F. If you are using no stick skillet, go ahead and start warming your pan. Add 2 tbsps of olive oil (or vegetable oil) and 2 tbsps of butter.
  • Once your butter and olive oil are heated and sizzling, take your chicken breasts out of the bag and place in the skillet. Cook the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes on each side over low to medium heat. Make sure to flip the chicken after 5 minutes to ensure even cooking. Also, if your chicken is starting to brown too quickly, turn down the heat slightly. You want it to be a nice golden brown on each side, but yet still cooked thoroughly.
  • Once your chicken is cooked, turn off the heat and let the chicken breasts rest in it's natural juices and continue to prepare the fettucine sauce.

Fettucine Alfredo Sauce and Noodles

  • By now, your noodles should be well on their to cooking. Make sure to periodically test your noodles to see if they are ready.
  • If your noodles are ready, go ahead and turn off the heat and let them sit for about 3 minutes.
  • In a sauce pan, melt 1 stick (8 tbsp) of butter. Once melted, add your minced garlic. Cook that for about 1 minute and then add your flour. Combine the flour, garlic and butter until it creates a smooth texture. Cook the mixture for about 1 minute to get the flour taste out of it.
  • Add the half and half and whisk with the flour.
  • Add the milk and continue to whisk until smooth. Add the grated parmesan to the pan and mix to combine. Take one ladel of the pasta water and put into the creamy mixture. Empty your noodles from the pan and toss with a bit of olive oil or butter (your choice).
  • Your Alfredo Sauce should be done at this point.

Butter Braised Broccoli

  • In a sauce pan, melt some butter and salt. Add the broccoli florets and toss together with the butter and salt. Pour in the 1/4 cup of water and cover the broccoli. Cook for about 4 minutes or until broccoli is a medium soft. Uncover and make sure it's done to your liking. If you like it a bit more tender, add a bit more water and cook a bit longer.

Service the Meal

  • Take our fettucine noodles and place on the plate, pour the alfredo sauce over the noodles and gently mix.
  • Cut the chicken into slices and place on top of the noodles and sauce.
  • Place the broccoli on the side.
  • Eat and enjoy!!!
