Chicken Florentine Mac and Cheese image

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 pound elbow macaroni
6 tablespoons salted butter
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into small cubes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 cups whole milk
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 cup shredded white Cheddar
1 cup shredded fontina cheese
2 teaspoons cornstarch
8 ounces white processed cheese, such as Velveeta or queso blanco, cubed
3 cups baby spinach
1 1/2 cups halved cherry tomatoes
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  • Heat half the butter in a braiser over medium heat. Add the chicken, then sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic, then stir and cook briefly. Add the chicken stock, scraping the bottom of the pan as it boils. Add the milk, cream and the remaining 3 tablespoons butter and cook, stirring, until it is warmed through and the sauce is simmering.
  • Toss together the Cheddar, fontina and cornstarch in a bowl.
  • Sprinkle the shredded cheese mixture into the pan, stirring constantly until the cheese is completely melted. Add the processed cheese cubes and allow them to melt. Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to thicken, about 1 minute. Add the cooked macaroni, the spinach and tomatoes, then stir until well combined. Taste and adjust the seasonings. Garnish with the fresh parsley and serve.

CHICKEN, CHILI, AND CHEESE QUESADILLAS



Chicken, Chili, and Cheese Quesadillas image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings (1 1/3 cups salsa)

Number Of Ingredients 11

12 corn tortillas, preferably white
6 ounces Cheddar, Monterey Jack or Colby cheese, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon chopped pickled jalapenos
1 cup shredded cooked chicken (about 3 ounces)
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 pound vine-ripened tomatoes (about 2 tomatoes)
1/4 small red onion
2 to 3 tablespoons chopped cilantro
Hot sauce such as chipotle or Mexican green chili sauce to taste (1/2 teaspoon)
Kosher salt
1 Hass avocado, halved, seeded and sliced

Steps:

  • Lay 6 tortillas on the work surface, and divide the cheese, jalapenos and chicken among the tortillas. (It's best to leave about an inch border on the edge of the tortilla uncovered to allow for the spread of the melting cheese.) Top with remaining tortillas and press gently to seal. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a small skillet. Carefully place a quesadilla in the skillet and fry, turning once, until golden and little bubbles appear on both sides, 4 to 5 minutes in all. Repeat with the remaining quesadillas, wiping out the pan between batches if the butter burns.
  • While the quesadillas cook, make the salsa: Halve the tomatoes and grate them on the largest holes of a box grater into a bowl, discarding the skins. Grate the onion into the tomato and stir in the cilantro, hot sauce and salt, to taste.
  • Cut quesadillas into 4 wedges with a pizza wheel or knife and serve with the salsa and avocado.

CHICKEN QUESADILLAS

This is a great recipe for parties. I freeze the leftovers; they reheat quite well. The zesty chicken and cooked peppers are a succulent delight when mixed with the melted cheeses. Cut the quesadillas into wedges and serve with sour cream and salsa.
