Categories     main-dish

Time 1h35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

9 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 1/4 teaspoons salt
1 1/4 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
1 pound white mushrooms, sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme leaves
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
4 cups whole milk, room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream, room temperature
1 cup chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 ounces linguine
3/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley leaves
1 cup grated Parmesan
1/4 cup dried Italian-style breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
  • Spread 1 tablespoon of butter over a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Melt 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil in a deep large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the hot pan and cook until pale golden and just cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly. Coarsely shred the chicken into bite-size pieces and into a large bowl.
  • Meanwhile, add 1 tablespoon each of butter and oil to the same pan. Add the mushrooms and saute over medium-high heat until the liquid from the mushrooms evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Add the onion, garlic, and thyme, and saute until the onion is translucent, about 8 minutes. Add the wine and simmer until it evaporates, about 2 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
  • Melt 3 more tablespoons butter in the same pan over medium-low heat. Add the flour and whisk for 2 minutes. Whisk in the milk, cream, broth, nutmeg, remaining 1 3/4 teaspoons salt, and remaining 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover and bring to a boil. Simmer, uncovered, until the sauce thickens slightly, whisking often, about 10 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook until it is tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 9 minutes. Drain. Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
  • Transfer the pasta mixture to the prepared baking dish. Stir the cheese and breadcrumbs in a small bowl to blend. Sprinkle the cheese mixture over the pasta. Dot with the remaining 3 tablespoons of butter. Bake, uncovered, until golden brown on top and the sauce bubbles, about 25 minutes.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon canola oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
2 cups small cauliflower florets
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1 pound cremini mushrooms, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced

One 4.5-ounce can diced green chiles

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ziti and cook until al dente (if a range is given on the box, choose the shortest time, otherwise, cook it 1 minute less than the suggested time). Drain the pasta and return it to the pot.

Sprinkle the flour over top and cook, stirring, until all of the flour has moistened, about 1 minute. Add the wine and simmer, stirring, until reduced by about half. Add the chicken broth and 1/4 cup water, increase the heat to medium high and cook, stirring constantly, until simmering and slightly thickened. Add the heavy cream, cream cheese and 1/2 cup Parmesan; stir to combine. Pour all of the sauce and vegetables into the pot with the pasta. Add the peas, thyme and green chiles. Chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces and add to the pot. Season with salt and pepper.

Kosher salt
1 small head cauliflower
8 ounces extra-wide egg noodles
1 stick (8 tablespoons) butter
8 ounces assorted fresh mushrooms or white mushrooms, sliced
4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 large or 2 medium shallots, finely chopped
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 cup dry sherry
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
Freshly ground pepper
Freshly grated nutmeg
3 to 4 cups shredded Poached Chicken Breasts, recipe follows
1 cup panko
1 cup grated Parmigiano-Reggiano
1/4 cup chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
4 whole bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts (for all white meat) or 3 whole 4-pound chickens (for a mix of white and dark meat)
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
8 cloves garlic, smashed
4 large bay leaves
4 carrots, coarsely chopped
4 stalks celery, coarsely chopped
2 lemons, sliced
2 onions, quartered
Herb bundle of fresh parsley, rosemary and thyme tied with kitchen string
Kosher salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a pot and season with salt. Add the cauliflower, cover and steam until just tender, 7 to 8 minutes. Drain and cut into florets. Meanwhile, bring another pot of salted water to a boil and cook the noodles to just shy of al dente, about 5 minutes. Drain. Heat 4 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook until tender and browned. Add the garlic and shallots and cook, stirring, for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the flour and cook, whisking, for 1 minute. Deglaze with the sherry, stirring and scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Whisk in the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook for a few minutes, then stir in the heavy cream. Season with salt, pepper and a few grates of nutmeg. Combine the cauliflower, noodles, chicken and sauce. Transfer to a casserole dish. Melt the remaining 4 tablespoons butter in small pan, then drizzle over the panko in a bowl and toss to combine. Add the Parmigiano-Reggiano and toss. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the casserole. Bake until hot, bubbling and golden, 40 to 45 minutes. Sprinkle with the parsley. Divide among plates. Cook's Note: The unbaked casserole (without the breadcrumbs) can be covered and refrigerated for a make-ahead meal.
  • Put the chicken in a very large stockpot or divide between 2 pots if necessary. Add the peppercorns, garlic, bay leaves, carrots, celery, lemons, onions and herb bundle and sprinkle with salt. Add enough water to cover the chicken. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cook at a rolling simmer for 1 1/2 hours. Remove the chicken from the liquid and let cool. Strain the stock. (You should have 5 to 6 quarts stock.) Remove the skin and bones from the chicken, and shred the meat using your hands or 2 forks.

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI CASSEROLE



Chicken Tetrazzini Casserole image

I picked up a copy of Southern Living's Comfort Foods Recipe magazine at the grocery store. I decided to try their Chicken Tetrazzini. I haven't had this since I was a kid and forgot all about it! This recipe makes 2 casseroles. One to prepare immediately and one to freeze for later! After serving to my family I asked the BIG question...."Should I make this again sometime?" I received two overwhelming YES's from my kids, and one "yeah, ok" from my husband. I'd say that this recipe is a keeper! I served it with fresh bakery bread.

1 (4 ounce) jar sliced pimento peppers, drained
2 cups reserved chicken broth

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add uncooked spaghetti (broken into thirds) to the pot and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  • In a large saucepan, heat soup over low heat. Add shredded cheese (reserve some for topping) and stir together. Then add the cooked shredded chicken, mushrooms, pimento peppers and cooked spaghetti and stir all together. Add enough of the reserved broth to make it 'sloppy' and mix all together.
  • Pour mixture into a 9x13 inch baking dish. Sprinkle reserved shredded cheese on top and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 35 minutes or until bubbly.

CHICKEN AND MUSHROOM PASTA BAKE (SPAGHETTI TETRAZZINI)



Chicken and Mushroom Pasta Bake (Spaghetti Tetrazzini) image

Jamie Oliver says - "I remember meeting a lovely old couple outside my parents' pub and when they heard I was going to Italy they told me to make sure I cooked turkey tetrazzini - I hadn't a clue what they were talking about and then, by chance, I saw a recipe for chicken tetrazzini in an old Italian cookbook and it's great - really tacky but gorgeous! Here's my version..."

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
olive oil
4 chicken thighs, boned, skinned and cut into bite-sized pieces
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, peeled and finely sliced
12 ounces mixed fresh mushrooms, cleaned and torn
7/8 cup white wine
1 lb dried spaghetti
2 cups heavy cream
7 ounces parmesan cheese, grated
1 sprig fresh basil, leaves picked

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400ºF. Put your porcini mushrooms in a bowl and pour over just enough boiling water to cover them (approx. 2/3 cup). Put to one side to soak for a few minutes.
  • Heat a saucepan big enough to hold all the ingredients, and pour in a splash of olive oil. Season the chicken pieces with salt and pepper and brown them gently in the oil.
  • Strain the porcini, reserving the soaking water, and add them to the pan with the garlic and fresh mushrooms. Add the wine, with the strained porcini soaking water, and turn the heat down.
  • Simmer gently until the chicken pieces are cooked through and the wine has reduced a little.
  • Meanwhile, cook the spaghetti in plenty of boiling salted water according to the packet instructions and drain well.
  • Add the cream to the pan of chicken, then bring to the boil and turn the heat off. Season well with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Add the drained spaghetti to the creamy chicken sauce and toss well. Add three-quarters of the Parmesan and all of the basil and stir well.
  • Transfer to an ovenproof baking dish or non-stick pan, sprinkle with half the remaining cheese and bake in the oven until golden brown, bubbling and crisp.
  • Divide between your plates, drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with the rest of the cheese before serving.

CHICKEN TETRAZZINI



Chicken Tetrazzini image

Chicken tetrazzini takes its name from the Italian opera star Luisa Tetrazzini, and was a mainstay of upscale restaurant menus of the early 20th century. Today, though, it is hardly fancy. (And definitely not Italian.) The recipe that follows is built on the frame of what might be called a Mississippi-style tetrazzini, made with canned tomatoes and chiles and processed cheese. The chef Brad McDonald, who grew up in Yazoo City, at the top of the Delta, used to cook a bespoke version for his tasting menu at the Lockhart, a restaurant in London, using washed-rind Irish cheese and a mixture of roasted green bell peppers and jalapeños to flavor his shredded chicken, along with porcini mushrooms and guajillo chiles. I made a few changes of my own, and discovered a weeknight casserole of great distinction.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 ounce dried porcini mushrooms
4 medium-size poblano peppers
5 dried guajillo chiles, ends snipped and seeds discarded
1 1/2 cups chicken stock, homemade or low-sodium
1 1/2 cups whole milk
3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium-size shallot, peeled and thinly sliced
8 ounces Cheddar cheese, grated
1 pound spaghetti
1 store-bought rotisserie chicken, the meat removed and shredded, approximately 1 pound
1 lemon, juiced
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped, optional

Steps:

  • Turn broiler to high, and set a large pot filled with salted water over high heat to come to a boil. As oven heats, place the mushrooms in a small bowl, and pour boiling water over them, then leave them to soak for approximately 20 to 25 minutes, then strain and set aside.
  • Place the poblanos on a small sheet pan, and set on the highest rack under the broiler so that the skin blackens, turning a few times so that the roasting is even, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. When the skin is blackened and blistered all over, place the peppers in a medium bowl, cover it with a plate and allow to rest.
  • Make the sauce. Put the dried chiles in a medium pot set over medium-high heat, and allow them to cook until they become fragrant, approximately 5 to 7 minutes, then turn heat to low, and add the chicken stock, milk, garlic and shallots. Allow the mixture to cook at just below a simmer for approximately 10 minutes, or until the chiles have softened. Remove from heat, and pour into a blender, then add 6 ounces of the grated Cheddar, and process to a smooth consistency. Set aside.
  • Meanwhile, remove the skin and seeds from the roasted poblanos, and cut them into thin strips. Set aside.
  • Heat oven to 400. Cook the spaghetti in the boiling salted water in the large pot until just al dente, approximately 9 to 10 minutes. Drain, and rinse under cold water until cool, then drain again.
  • Return the spaghetti to the cooking pot, and toss it with the roasted pepper strips, the mushrooms, the shredded chicken meat and the lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a casserole dish, approximately 9 inches by 13 inches, and pour the reserved cheese sauce over it. Cover with the remaining shredded cheese, place in oven and bake until the cheese has melted and started to turn golden brown, approximately 20 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley, if you like, and serve.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 1h25m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 20

6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 1/4 teaspoons salt, plus more for pasta
1 1/4 teaspoons pepper
1 lb white mushroom, trimmed and sliced
1 large onion, finely chopped
5 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup dry white wine
1/3 cup flour
4 cups whole milk
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 ounces linguine
3/4 cup frozen peas
1/4 cup fresh parsley
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 cup dried Italian breadcrumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 450.
  • Use 1 tablespoon of the butter to grease a 13x9 inch baking dish.
  • In a large, nonstick frying pan, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter and the oil.
  • Sprinkle the chicken with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the pan and cook until pale golden. Transfer the chicken to a plate to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, shred the chicken into bite size pieces.
  • Add the mushrooms to the same frying pan. Saute until the liquid evaporates and the mushrooms become pale golden, about 12 minutes. Transfer the mushroom mixture to the bowl with the chicken.
  • Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the same pan. Whisk in the milk, broth, cream, nutmeg, 1 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Increase the heat to high. Cover the sauce and bring to a boil. Then simmer, uncovered, whisking often, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 1 minute.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the linguine and cook. Drain.
  • Add the linguine, sauce, peas, and parsley to the chicken mixture. Toss until the sauce coats the pasta and the mixture is well blended.
  • Transfer the pasta to the prepared baking dish. In a small bowl, stir the cheese and bread crumbs to blend. Sprinkle over the casserole. Bake uncovered until golden brown on top - 25 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your Chicken Tetrazzini.
  • Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken Tetrazzini is a quick-cooking dish, so it's important to not overcook the chicken. Otherwise, it will become tough and dry.
  • Use a good quality white wine. The white wine in Chicken Tetrazzini adds a lot of flavor to the dish, so it's important to use a good quality wine. A dry Chardonnay or Sauvignon Blanc is a good choice.
  • Don't skimp on the cheese. Cheese is one of the key ingredients in Chicken Tetrazzini, so don't be afraid to use a lot of it. A combination of Parmesan, Cheddar, and mozzarella cheese works well.
  • Serve Chicken Tetrazzini immediately. This dish is best served hot and fresh out of the oven.
