    Chicken Fettuccine with Mushroom Brie


    Source of Recipe


    Internet

    List of Ingredients




    2 1/2 to 3 1/2 cups fat-skimmed chicken broth
    2 cups dry white wine such as Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc
    1/2 cup whipping cream
    1 tablespoon grated lemon peel
    1/2 teaspoon fennel seeds
    About 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon hot chile flakes
    8 ounces mushroom-flavored brie cheese
    12 ounces dried fettuccine
    2 cups coarsely shredded cooked chicken (8 oz.)
    Grated parmesan cheese
    About 1 cup watercress leaves, rinsed and drained

    Recipe



    1. In a 4- to 5-quart pan, combine 2 1/2 cups chicken broth, wine, whipping cream, lemon peel, fennel, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and chile flakes to taste. Bring to a boil over high heat and boil, uncovered, 2 to 3 minutes.

    2. Meanwhile, with a sharp knife, trim rind from brie and finely chop (rind adds flavor, but discard if you like). Cut brie into about 1/2-inch chunks.

    3. Add fettuccine to pan, pushing it down into boiling liquid. Simmer, uncovered, stirring often, until pasta is tender to bite, 8 to 10 minutes. Add chopped brie rind (if using) and chicken and stir to blend. Stir in chunks of brie. Remove pasta from heat and let stand, uncovered, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring often to make sure all the cheese melts (the rind won't melt). If you want saucier pasta, add up to 1 cup more broth and stir over high heat until steaming.

    4. With tongs or two forks, lift pasta into wide soup bowls; spoon remaining sauce over the top. Sprinkle with parmesan and more pepper to taste, and top with watercress leaves.
