Ingredientes
- 1 pound champanelle or gemelli noodles
- 1 pound (about 2 large) boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 6-8 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 2-3 cups finely shredded Fontina cheese
- 1 cup chopped fresh basil
Direcciones
- Boil pasta per package directions. Drain (do not rinse!) and put back into pot. Add about a tablespoon of olive oil and then cover to keep warm.
- While the pasta is boiling chop chicken and place in zip top storage bag. Add breadcrumbs shake and use your hands to press crumbs into chicken until completely coated and most of the crumbs are no longer loose.
- Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large frying pan. Add chicken and toss occasionally so that all sides get browned. About 7 minutes in add garlic and toss. Try to toss this instead of âstirringâ it, this will help the breadcrumbs stay attached to the chicken. Cook for about 3 more minutes (check largest piece to make sure its done) and remove chicken from pan.
- If there is a ton of oil left in the pan pour most of it out, if not, add chicken broth, cream, salt and pepper. Bring to a boil then add cheese, bring back to a boil and cook, whisking occasionally for 5 minutes. Add basil and boil, whisking occasionally, for another 5 minutes.
- Pour over pasta and stir until combined. Garnish with basil.

My husband loves alfredo sauce, but I'm not too keen on it. This recipe, however, was a huge hit for both of us! Can get a little bit messy to make the sauce if you are in a hurry, but so tasty!Yo he cocinado/probado esta receta
