Chicken Linguine a la Me
- 1 (8 ounce) package linguine pasta
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 green onions, chopped
- 5 cloves garlic, diced
- 1/2 pound fresh mushrooms, sliced
- 1 small head broccoli, chopped
- 1 (14 ounce) can chicken broth
- 3 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - cut into bite-size pieces
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup milk
- 1 (8 ounce) package Colby-Jack cheese, cubed
- salt and ground black pepper to taste
- Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat.
- Stir in the linguine, and return to a boil.
- Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes.
- Drain.
- Meanwhile, melt the 2 tablespoons butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
- Stir in the onions, garlic, mushrooms, and broccoli, and cook and stir for 5 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth; cover and simmer until broccoli is just tender.
- Stir in the chicken, and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat.
- Whisk in the flour, and stir until the mixture becomes paste-like and light golden brown, about 5 minutes.
- Add the butter-flour mixture to the chicken mixture, stirring constantly with a fork to prevent lumps.
- Pour in the milk, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Reduce heat to medium; simmer for 5 minutes more.
- Stir in the Colby-Jack cheese; reduce heat to low and continue stirring until cheese is melted.
- Stir in the linguine.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
