Bertucci's Rigatoni, Broccoli And Chicken With Wine Sauce
Servings: 2
Ingredients
¾ lb Quality, Italian Rigatoni
2 tbs Olive oil
2-4 oz Chicken breasts, boneless & skinless, cut into strips or thinly pounded.
Flour for dusting chicken
2 cups Broccoli florets
1 tsp Garlic, chopped
2 Lemon slices
1 cup Dry white wine
½ cup Chicken broth
Salt and pepper to taste
Method:
Bring a pot full of water to a rapid boil. Cook rigatoni according to package instructions. As pasta cooks…
Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Dust chicken with flour and cook until golden on both sides. Add broccoli florets, garlic and lemon slices. Stir and cook for 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, wine and cook until liquid is reduced by half (about 2 minutes). Season to taste.
Add cooked and strained rigatoni to sauce, toss until well mixed and serve at once, reserving lemon slices as garnishes.

Okay, I made this for dinner tonight - thanks for the suggestion, Casey. It's very quick and very simple and quite good. When I make it again, though, I think I'm going to skip the chicken - the rigatoni and broccoli are what I really loved in it.

This may sound like a stupid question, but I am not a very good cook and I was wondering what I'm supposed to use when a recipe calls for "dry, white wine." Do they sell it in the grocery store like sherry cooking wine? Am I opening a bottle of white wine?????!!! Sorry...I have no idea! 
Also, with this recipe, how soft does the broccoli get? You don't cook it at all before hand? I steam my broccoli really long so that it doesn't give me gas.

...I'm completely burned out on chicken, and so have been eating mostly vegetarian for the past couple months. I hadn't tried this yet - now I will, without the chicken. Thanks!

Like a chardonnay. Don't use cooking wine for this particular recipe.
I can't answer the grocery store question, because here in Maine, you can buy any kind of alcohol in a grocery store.  But what you want is actual drinking wine for this one.

I used a Summerfield Chardonnay - I think we paid *maybe* $7 for the bottle at Total Wines up at the Essex Green shopping center. The "rule" is use whatever you'd be willing to drink and that works fine for me since I rarely pay more than $10 for a bottle of wine. You do really taste the wine in this dish. (I'm not advocating drinking wine. It is a tummy irritant and not a good idea with IBS. Ahem.)
As for the broccoli, I cooked this longer than the recipe called for, at least 5 minutes after adding the wine and broth. The broccoli was still firm but not really crispy. I don't see why it would hurt to cook it even longer if you want it really done or even to pre-steam it. Remember, too, that the florets should be pretty small so they won't take too terribly long to get soft.
If you do decide to make this with chicken, I'd definitely cut it in strips or even small pieces. I used whole pieces of thin-sliced chicken and that was pretty unhandy.
HTH.
