BROCCOLI BUTTER SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salty water to a boil and cook pasta al dente according to package directions.
• Two minutes before the pasta is done cooking, add the broccoli to the same pot cooking the pasta.
• Drain the pasta and broccoli and return to pan; set aside.
• Heat a large skillet over medium heat (medium high) and add cooking spray. Sprinkle cubed chicken breasts with salt and pepper (optional) and red peper flakes. Add to pan and brown, 7-9 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and reserve.
• Leaving the pan on medium-high, add white wine and use a wooden spoon to deglaze the pan by scraping up the browned bits from the bottom. Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer.
• Add butter to the pan and heat until melted. Stir in lemon juice and chicken broth then simmer for an additional minute or two.
• Add reserved chicken and any juices formed back to the pot with the pasta and broccoli. Stir in lemon butter sauce and toss well. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly.
• Stir in olive oil before dividing between 6 plates. Serve with plenty of Parmigiano cheese and fresh basil.

Steps:

• Combine broccoli and water in a glass bowl; steam in microwave oven until slightly tender, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Heat peanut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Cook garlic in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to low; add chicken broth, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and ginger root to the garlic. Bring the mixture to a boil and add the shrimp; cook and stir until the shrimp turn pink, 3 to 4 minutes. Toss steamed broccoli and water chestnuts with the shrimp mixture to coat with the sauce. Stir cornstarch into the mixture 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
