Chicken Alfredo Ziti Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a quart (950 ML) of water in a large pot to a boil over high heat, and salt to taste.
• Cook pasta for 8 minutes, or until slightly underdone.
• Add broccoli to pasta and simmer for 4 minutes with the lid on.
• Strain the pasta and broccoli in a colander, and run cold water over to prevent the broccoli from over cooking.
• Heat the olive oil in the pot over medium-high heat, and add the chicken. Season the chicken with season salt and pepper.
• Once the chicken is cooked through, remove it from the pot and set aside.
• Add the butter to the pot, and melt it. Once butter is fully melted, add in garlic and stir continuously for 10 seconds.
• Add the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Stir often, and cook until sauce starts to bubble slightly.
• Once the sauce is bubbling and begins to cook down, add in Parmesan cheese and stir until the sauce thickens.
• Add in the cooked chicken, pasta, and broccoli, and stir until fully combined.
• Top with Parmesan cheese or red chili flakes.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• 1. cook ziti in plenty of salted boiling water until just short of al dente
• 2. Heat olive oil in large sauté pan.
• 3. Sauté chicken in olive oil until tender but not quite done.
• 4. Add shallot and sauté until translucent.
• 5. Add garlic and continue cooking until it is fragrant being careful not to burn.
• 6. Make sure chicken is cooked thru and deglaze pan with about 3/4 of the stock scraping up any bits from the bottom of the pan and let reduce for a moment or two.
• 7. Stir in half and half and bring to a simmer.
• 8. Stir in parmesan cheese and continue stirring. The mixture should start to thicken.
• 9. Add ziti to the pan and stir to coat with the sauce. The starch in the pasta will continue to thicken the sauce. If it's too thick add remaining chicken stock. Taste for seasoning, I usually add a little salt and pepper at this point
• 10. Fold in the broccoli
• 11. When it is hot and thick enough garnish with some fresh chopped parsley and additional parmesan. Serve with crusty bread and enjoy!

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add ziti and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add chicken, Cajun seasoning, and salt. Saute until chicken is cooked through and beginning to caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add bell peppers, onion, and 1/2 of the garlic; cook until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Add tomatoes and bring to a simmer.
• Meanwhile, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add remaining garlic and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add flour; cook and stir for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in 1 1/2 cups milk and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Add more Parmesan to thicken or more milk to thin to your liking.
• Add cooked pasta to the chicken mixture; toss to coat. Transfer to a deep casserole dish. Pour cheese sauce over the pasta mixture and top with mozzarella cheese.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the top is golden and bubbly, about 15 minutes.
