Spaghetti With Broccoli And Chicken

Friday, 14 March 2014

I love spaghetti its easy to cook. As I love spaghetti I always try different sauces, vegetables and other items. Chicken is full of protein so I use chicken alot in my recipes. Today in this recipe I use World's healthiest Food Broccoli.  Let's talk about some benefits of this healthy broccoli.

Broccoli's noteworthy nutrients include vitamin C, vitamin A (mostly as beta-carotene), folic acid, calcium, and fiber. While the calcium content of one serving doesn't equal that of a glass of milk, broccoli is an important calcium source for those who don't consume dairy products. Calcium does more than build strong bones. Research shows that this mineral may play a role in the control of high blood pressure, and it may work to prevent colon cancer.
So let's grab this healthy recipes,

Ingredients:
3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pound spaghetti
1 (16 ounce) package frozen chopped broccoli
3 cloves garlic
5 tablespoons olive oil
salt to taste
ground black pepper to taste

White Sauce:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup milk
salt to taste
white or black pepper

Method:

1. Sprinkle chicken breasts lightly with   salt and pepper. Stir fry Chicken until no longer pink.

2. In another pan stir fry broccoli for 2 to 3 minutes( Don't overcook).

3. For white Sauce, Melt butter in a saucepan over low heat,stir in flour. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes(Do not brown).

4. Gradually stir in milk and continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to thicken. Season with salt and pepper.

Note:For a richer sauce, add a few tablespoons of heavy cream.

5. Now add spaghetti in White Sauce along with Chicken and Broccoli. Seasoning with Thymes or basil leaves.
