Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
12 ounces fettuccine
Olive oil, for tossing
12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken breast (about 2)
1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 cups heavy cream
2 pinches freshly grated nutmeg
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt generously. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still slightly firm). Drain and toss with a splash of oil.
  • Meanwhile, slice the chicken into 1/4-inch-thick strips, and lay them on a plate or a sheet of waxed paper. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter melts, raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken in 1 layer. Cook, without moving the pieces, until the underside has browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip the pieces, and cook until browned and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes more. Transfer the chicken to a medium bowl.
  • Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 6 tablespoons butter. Scrape the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon to release any browned bits. When the butter has mostly melted, whisk in the cream and nutmeg and bring to a simmer, then cook for 2 minutes. Lower the heat to keep the sauce just warm.
  • Whisk the Parmigiano-Reggiano into the sauce. Add the chicken and cooked pasta and toss well. Season with salt and pepper. Serve hot in heated bowls.

INSTANT POT® CHICKEN ALFREDO



Instant Pot® Chicken Alfredo image

I don't claim to be Italian, and I'm sure many Italian nonnas would cringe at a pressure-cooked chicken Alfredo, but this recipe is kept simple to ensure the integrity of the classic dish. Please note this recipe uses heavy whipping cream, and I cannot guarantee the same success with any other liquid. I recommend Savory Spice Shop® cantanzaro herbs instead of Italian herbs. This uses an elevated steam rack, which can be found on Amazon.

Time 50m

Yield 3

2 ½ cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese

When it comes to Mexican cuisine, enchiladas are considered to be one of the most popular and delicious dishes loved by people all over the world. Chicken enchiladas are a variation of this classic dish, which are made by stuffing rolled tortillas with a savory mixture of seasoned shredded chicken, cheese, and sometimes beans or other vegetables. These enchiladas are then covered with a creamy and flavorful alfredo sauce, and baked to cheesy goodness. In this article, we will explore the world of alfredo chicken enchiladas, and learn everything there is to know about this delicious dish.

Ingredients for Alfredo Chicken Enchiladas

Tortillas:
Usually, the tortillas used for enchiladas are corn tortillas, but some people prefer flour tortillas as well.
Chicken:
A good chicken enchilada recipe requires a boneless, skinless chicken breast that is cooked and then shredded into bite-sized pieces.
Cheese:
Cheese is an essential ingredient for any enchilada recipe, and the recommended cheeses for chicken enchiladas are Monterey Jack, Cheddar, or a blend of both.
Sauce:
Instead of the traditional tomato-based enchilada sauce, alfredo chicken enchiladas are made with a homemade or store-bought alfredo sauce.

Preparation of Alfredo Chicken Enchiladas

Step 1:Preparing the Chicken
The first step in making alfredo chicken enchiladas is to cook and shred the chicken. Season a boneless, skinless chicken breast with salt, pepper, and any other seasonings of your choice, and then bake or grill it until it’s fully cooked. Once the chicken is cooked, shred it into bite-sized pieces using two forks or a food processor.
Step 2: Preparing the Tortillas
If you’re using corn tortillas, heat them up in a pan over low heat or directly on gas stove burners for a few seconds on each side to make them pliable. If you’re using flour tortillas, you can skip this step.
Step 3: Preparing the Filling
Mix the shredded chicken with some shredded cheese, and any other vegetables or beans that you’d like to add to the filling.
Step 4: Filling and Rolling the Tortillas
Spread a generous amount of filling onto each tortilla, and then roll them up tightly. Place the filled tortillas seam-side down in a baking dish.
Step 5: Adding the Alfredo Sauce
In a separate pan, heat up the alfredo sauce, and then pour it over the rolled tortillas in the baking dish.
Step 6: Baking the Enchiladas
Sprinkle some extra shredded cheese over the top of the tortillas, and then bake them in the oven at 350°F for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Conclusion

In conclusion, alfredo chicken enchiladas are a delicious and satisfying dish that combines the flavors of classic Mexican cuisine with a creamy twist.
