Chicken Tetrazzini From The New York Timescarrie Sheridan Recipes

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.

Steps:

• In a heavy kettle place the chicken, onion, celery, one TBS salt, bay leaf, carrot and 3 cups water.
• Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, until the chicken is tender, 3-4 hours.
• Remove the chicken from the broth and let cool.
• Remove the meat from the bones in shredded slim pieces about 2 inches long, discarding skin and bones.
• Skim the fat from the top of the broth and place 4 TBS of the fat (or an equivalent amount of butter)in a 2 quart saucepan.
• Add the flour and salt to taste, stirring with a wire whisk until blended.
• Meanwhile, bring 2 cups of the strained chicken broth to a boil and add all at once to the fat-flour mixture, stirring vigorously with the whisk until the sauce is thickened and smooth.
• If desired, season with tabasco sauce.
• In a skillet, heat 3 TBS of the remaining fat or butter and add the mushrooms; cook until browned.
• To the sauce, add the egg yolk lightly beaten with a little of the hot sauce and stir in the sherry, cream, chicken and mushrooms.
• Cook, stirring until heated through.
• DO NOT LET BOIL.
• Cook the spaghetti according to package directions.
• Place alternate layers of drained spaghetti noodles and sauce in a buttered casserole, sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese and dot with butter.
• Brown quickly in a preheated broiler and serve with toasted almonds, if desired.
• If using leftover turkey meat, use organic chicken ready-made broth, celery flakes and a pinch of ground cloves.
• You can make this ahead 1-2 days and refrigerate, covered -- then reheat 45 minutes at 325 degrees just before serving - and it's even better, as the flavors have had a chance to blend nicely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Melt margarine in a skillet over medium heat. Cook and stir onion in melted margarine until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes; add to the spaghetti along with chicken, evaporated milk, cream of chicken soup, 4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese, celery salt, salt, and black pepper. Toss mixture to evenly mix; transfer to prepared dish. Sprinkle 4 ounces shredded Cheddar cheese over spaghetti mixture.
• Bake in preheated oven until cheese is melted and mixture is bubbling, about 45 minutes.

Steps:

• Boil chicken breasts and quartered onions studded with 1 whole clove each in boiling water until cooked. Remove chicken and let cool a little bit.
• Cook egg noodles according to package instructions and drain.
• Shred chicken. Combine noodles, 2 cans of soup, can of mushrooms with liquid. Add chicken and mix well.
• Put in 2 quart glass casserole dish. Cover with crushed corn flakes.
• Bake at 350 for 30 minutes.
• Add chicken or vegetable bouillon, if needed, to moisten.
• Let sit 15 minutes.
• You can boil a whole chicken --.
• You can also substitute with canned tuna and use MORGA or Better Than Bouillon bouillon base.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil and cook the pasta until just shy of al dente, about 2 minutes less than the package directs. Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Meanwhile, in a large Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons of the butter over medium-high heat, and add the mushrooms. Season lightly with salt, and cook, stirring only occasionally, until the mushrooms have released their liquid and have started to brown deeply, 8 to 11 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the flour and curry powder, if using. Stir well, until the flour and the mushrooms are evenly combined and the flour is evenly moistened, about 1 minute. Whisk in the white wine, and let it come to a boil, whisking constantly. Let the wine bubble to reduce slightly, 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken stock, and let it come to a boil. Cook until it thickens noticeably, about 5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low. Whisk in the chunks of cream cheese (don't worry if the cream cheese appears curdled), then fold in the turkey, peas and the cheeses. Season generously with black pepper. Add the drained pasta and toss with tongs to combine. Taste and add salt if necessary.
• Transfer to a 9-by-13-inch baking dish. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a small bowl in the microwave, and toss it together with the panko and the almonds. Sprinkle the panko-almond mixture all over the top of the pasta, and bake until bubbly and browned on top, about 25 minutes. Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before serving. It will be very creamy at first but will firm up as it cools.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil (for pasta). In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over high heat. Add mushrooms, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until tender and browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl, and set aside.
• Make sauce: In same saucepan, melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add flour; cook, whisking, about 1 minute. Whisking constantly, gradually add milk, broth, and wine. Bring to a boil; reduce to a simmer, and add 2 cups Parmesan and thyme. Season with salt and pepper.
• Cook pasta 2 minutes less than package instructions for al dente; drain and return to pot. Add sauce, chicken, peas, and mushrooms. Toss well to combine. Divide between two shallow 2-quart baking dishes; sprinkle with remaining Parmesan. Freeze (see below) or bake until browned, about 30 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
