Chicken and Broccoli Rabe Pasta
Category
dinner main Main Course pasta
Prep Time
15 minutes
Cook Time
15 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, (divided, plus more for the pasta water)
-
1/2 pound 8 ounces pasta, such as Fiorentini or Fusilli
- 1 bunch broccoli rabe, (cut into 1-inch pieces)
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, (smashed and peeled)
- 1 shallot, (sliced)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, (optional)
- Half a rotisserie chicken, (meat pulled and shredded, about 2 cups shredded meat)
-
1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season the water generously with salt. Cook the pasta for 2 minutes less than the package directions indicate, about 6 minutes. Add the broccoli rabe to the water with the pasta and cook for an additional minute. Drain well reserving 1 cup of the pasta water.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat an additional minute. To the hot oil add the garlic, shallot, 1/2 teaspoon salt and red pepper flakes, if using. Cook, stirring often with a wooden spoon for 2 minutes or until soft and fragrant. Add the chicken and toss well to coat in all the flavors. Cook, stirring often until lightly browned, about 4 minutes. Add the pasta to the pan along with the Parmigiano-Reggiano. Toss well to combine adding the pasta water as needed to create a light sauce. Serve with additional cheese if desired.

Delicious! We didn’t have broccoli rabe so I used kale. I also added a dollop of mascarpone cream cheese to the sauce. So flavorful. My husband had seconds. Will definitely make again. Fast, easy – great weeknight meal. Thank you, Giada!
This was delicious!!! I enjoyed it so much I’m making it again this weekend !!
I had never heard of broccoli rabe until my husband made some for me. OMG!!! It was sooooo good. I instantly loved it!! We made this recipe and being a chef himself, he added white wine to it and it was AMAZING!!! You can't go wrong with this dish!!
