Chicken and Broccoli Rape

   As is often the case, I found myself with too many things in the fridge that needed to be used. One was a chicken that had been boiled and taken off the bone and was sitting in the cooking liquid. The other was a bunch of broccoli rape. They were not intended to be used together, but seeing both of them there sparked an idea. Could they effectively be combined to create a tasty dish.
   So the chicken was shredded like pulled pork. The broccoli rape was added to sauteed onion and garlic. A little water was added and it was covered and simmered till tender. Then the shredded chicken was added along with enough chicken stock to make kind of a thick soup. That was cooked for 5 min.. I cooked some rice, served the chicken and broccoli rape over it along with some romano cheese and had a pleasant surprise. Hope you do too.
     Ciao for now,   Garlichut
