Hmmm - Assuming you want to use white? I'd cook your chicken in butter/oil, throw in the red peppers as well, add onions if you want, when the chicken is almost done you can season with garlic, salt pepper, throw in the broccoli then hit the pan with the wine and throw a lid on so the broccoli can steam. NOT a whole bottle - put in maybe a cup or so. Let it steam a bit and taste it to see if you like it. If you need more liquid you can add in some chicken broth or some of the liquid from the boiling rigatoni. If you like just the wine- you can add a bit more.
That sounds really good (and easy). I appreciate the help.
I'm guessing my guests would be drunk from a couple bites if I did the whole bottle.
Well if you're serving your Mom then use a cup or two - if it's a hot guy - throw in a few bottles and say a prayer before you sit to eat
All I know is you are supposed to cook with a wine that you would drink on it's own.
Somehow, following that rule, I always run out of wine when it's time to cook.
Here is what I would do:
To keep your chicken moist, I would lightly flour it (add a few spices to the flour: salt, pepper, garlic, paprika), shake off excess then sautee it in a little olive oil. Remove the chicken and drain on a towel.
Add a bit more olive oil and sautee peppers (Or just use roasted peppers and add them at the end). Set aside.
In the pan, melt 4 tablespoons of butter and 2 crushed cloves of garlic, sautee for a couple minutes and then add 3 - 4 tbs of flour. Mix and cook on low - med for about 5 minutes.
Add:
1 cup chicken broth whisking and stirring constantly. Add 1/2 - 3/4 cup of white wine and juice of half a lemon. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly. Add salt and pepper to taste.
After about 5 -10 minutes, add chicken and peppers to heat through. Sprinkle with fresh chopped parlsey. Serve over linguine or some other type of pasta.
ETA: I just re-read your post. Add the broccoli when you saute the peppers.

Okay, I think I'm going to try that recipe tonight. I might be tipsy halfway through cooking it, but at least the first half will be done according to the recipe.
Wine has lots of good things about it... I mean, think of the religious connotations. I wouldn't be surprised if we all get wine after the rapture.

Well - Jesus turned the water into wine. I wonder if he could do the same thing with Kool-Aid?
