Dutch Oven One Pan Chicken And Noodles Food

CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Season chicken with the Montreal seasoning or seasoned salt. Set aside.
• In a large Dutch oven combine the broth and water over high heat. Bring to a boil.
• Place the chicken into the boiling water, and reduce heat to medium-low, and boil uncovered for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is tender, skimming off impurities that rise to the top.
• While the chicken is boiling heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onions for 5 minutes until softened. Add in the carrots, celery, salt, pepper and thyme and sauté for another 5 minutes, until vegetables are softened. Add in the minced garlic, cook for 2 more minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• Remove the chicken from the boiling broth and shred using 2 forks.
• Place the chicken back into the broth and add in the sautéd vegetables and the dry noodles.
• Bring back to a boil and cook the noodles for 12-15 minutes, or until desired softness.
• When the noodles are almost done cooking, melt the butter in the same skillet you cooked the vegetables over medium heat. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until lightly golden. Ladle in 1 cup of the hot broth from the soup, continuing to whisk until well blended. Add in the heavy cream, whisk until smooth and then add this into the soup, stirring until combined and creamy. Bring back to a boil and then turn off the heat.
• Garnish with parsley if desired.

ONE POT CREAMY CHICKEN AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Put oil in the bottom of the dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Add the cubed chicken and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally until the chicken is browned. It's ok if it isn't cooked all the way through yet.
• Add the onion and garlic powder, continue to cook and stir occasionally until the onion is translucent. It should just take a couple of minutes.
• Stir in the chicken stock, being sure to scrape up any bits on the bottom of the pan as you add the stock. Bring to a boil.
• Stir in the pasta and continue to boil for 7-8 minutes. When the stock is mostly absorbed, drop the heat to medium low.
• Stir in the half and half or milk, thyme and vegetables. Simmer, stirring frequently until the vegetables and pasta are cooked through and the mixture is thickened. (if it gets too thick, add a little more stock.)
• Just before serving, stir in the sour cream and adjust your salt and pepper to taste.

CHICKEN & NOODLES

Steps:

• Wash your hands before beginning. Rinse the chicken breasts under cool water and place in a dutch oven or 5 quart stock pot. Wash your hands again. Add the chicken broth and all the seasonings.
• Stir the seasonings lightly into the broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook about 45 minutes or until chicken starts to separate a bit.
• Remove the chicken breasts to a plate and keep warm. Turn up the heat to HIGH. Pour 16 ounces of noodles into the now boiling broth, cook until done and ready to serve.

CHICKEN SPAGHETTI

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375°F. In a large dutch oven or other oven proof dish, melt the butter or heat the oil over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until soft, 3-4 minutes. Add the red pepper and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the chicken to the pan and cook flipping, until lightly golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. They will continue to cook in the sauce.
• Stir in the diced tomatoes, chicken broth, milk, and spaghetti (break it to fit into the pan if needed) to the pan and bring to a boil.
• Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally so the pasta doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan, until the pasta is cooked through and tender, about 8-10 minutes. If too thick, slowly add 1/4 cup chicken stock until desired consistency is reached. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in half of the shredded cheese, then top with the remaining cheese and bake in the oven until bubbly and melted, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly and enjoy! Optionally, you can enjoy the spaghetti as is and not bake it.

ONE-POT CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Heat reserved oil in Dutch oven or large deep skillet over medium heat. Add chicken; cook 6 to 7 min. on each side or until done (165°F). Remove chicken from pan, reserving drippings in pan. Cover chicken to keep warm.
• Stir garlic into reserved drippings; cook and stir 1 min. or until fragrant. Add milk and bouillon cubes; stir. Bring just to simmer over low heat, stirring constantly.
• Add pasta; stir. Simmer, stirring frequently, over medium-low heat 14 to 15 min. or until pasta is cooked to desired doneness. Add remaining ingredients; cook and stir 2 to 3 min. or until cream cheese spread is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Remove from heat.
• Slice chicken. Serve over pasta mixture.

CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Season chicken with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat in a large Dutch oven/soup pot. Once hot, add the chicken and sear until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a plate but leave the drippings.
• Melt 2 tablespoons butter with 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat in the drippings. Once melted, increase heat to medium-high and add onions, carrots and celery; sauté for 4 minutes scaping up the golden bits on the bottom of the pot.
• Add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Sprinkle in the flour then cook, stirring constantly for 2 minutes (it will be thick); don't let flour stick to the bottom of the pot or it will burn later. You can add additional oil if needed.
• Add chicken back to the pot along with chicken broth, bouillon, all seasonings, ½ teaspoon salt, and bay leaves. Cover the soup and bring to a simmer over high heat, then reduce and simmer, covered, for 12-15 minutes or until chicken is tender enough to shred, stirring occasionally so the bottom doesn't burn and replacing the lid.
• Remove tender chicken to a cutting board and shred when cool enough to handle. Meanwhile, whisk cornstarch with half and half until smooth in a small bowl or liquid measuring cup then stir into the pot. Add the noodles and bring to a boil; simmer until noodles are al dente, approximately 5 minutes (don't overcook noodles!).
• Reduce heat to low and stir in Parmesan until smooth followed by shredded chicken. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper if desired. Stir in additional broth or half and half if desired for a less "chunky" soup.

ONE-POT CRISPY CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat oil in large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle chicken thighs evenly with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
• Place chicken skin-side down in the Dutch oven; cook undisturbed until golden crisp and easily released from the bottom, about 5 minutes. Flip chicken and cook for 3 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
• Add butter to the drippings and melt. Add onion and cook, stirring often, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook for 1 minute. Add rice; cook, stirring to coat grains in drippings and lightly toast, about 1 minute. Stir in 3 cups stock and remaining salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the Dutch oven. Place the chicken thighs over the rice.
• Bake in the preheated oven until all liquid has been absorbed and chicken is cooked through, 45 to 55 minutes. Add remaining stock if liquid is absorbed before rice and chicken are cooked through. Sprinkle with parsley and squeeze lemon juice over the top.

DUTCH OVEN CHICKEN AND VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Make the chicken: Heat oven to 450 degrees.
• Pour 3 tablespoons of the olive oil into a Dutch oven large enough to hold the chicken, then toss in all but 1 piece of the onion. Add the garlic and 4 sprigs each of the thyme and rosemary. Stir to coat, then season generously with salt and pepper.
• Pat the chicken dry, season the inside with salt and pepper, and tuck in the remaining piece of onion and herb sprigs. Rub the chicken with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Squeeze the juice from the lemon half over the bird, and then pop the lemon inside it with the herbs and onion. Settle the chicken into the pot, breast side up. Pour in the wine and cover.
• Roast the chicken for 60 minutes, then check on it: It's done when a thermometer plunged into the thickest part of the thigh has reached 165 degrees. If it's done but doesn't have enough color for you, you can run it under the broiler for a few minutes; if it's not done, remove the lid and continue to roast until done, 15 to 30 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a platter, cover loosely with a foil tent, and let rest.
• While the chicken rests, make the vinaigrette: Pour off the pan drippings, measure out 6 tablespoons and return them to the pot. (If your drippings are scant or very dark, you can still use them. Keep any extra drippings for another use.) Hold onto the garlic but discard the onion and herbs from the pot. Place the pot over medium heat, pour in 1/2 cup water, and boil for a couple of minutes, scraping the bottom of the pan to pick up any stuck bits. You should have about 1/3 cup of drippings; if they're very chunky, strain them when you add them to the vinaigrette.
• Working in a medium bowl, mash 6 to 8 cloves of the soft garlic with the mustard, then whisk in the vinegar. Slowly whisk in the reserved liquid, followed by the walnut oil, if using. Taste for salt and pepper, then pour the vinaigrette into a small pitcher.
• To serve, carve the chicken, cutting it into quarters or eighths, and arrange on the platter. Pour over a little of the vinaigrette. Dress the salad greens lightly with vinaigrette and serve on the platter or in a shallow bowl. Pass the rest of the sauce at the table.

CHICKEN AND NOODLES RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large pot or dutch oven, sauté diced onion in olive oil over medium high heat until translucent, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and carrots and continue sautéing for an additional minute, stirring frequently.
• Add 1 ½ cups chicken stock or broth, bay leaf, salt, pepper and thyme and bring to a simmer over medium high heat. Cook until the carrots are tender, about 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the remaining chicken stock or broth and celery and bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook for 5 minutes, uncovered.
• While the noodles are cooking, prepare the roux. In a small skillet, melt butter then add flour and whisk to combine. Cook for one minute and then add 1 cup of milk and bring to a simmer and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat.
• Stir the remaining one cup of milk, frozen peas, and prepared roux into the pot with the noodles. Stir to combine.
• Add the shredded chicken and continue cooking over medium heat at a gentle simmer until thickened to your liking.
• Serve hot with fresh herbs, Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika or fresh ground black pepper.
