RACHAEL RAY BASIL, CHILI AND GARLIC CHICKEN

Steps:

• In small bowl, combine 1/2 cup water with the fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and crushed red pepper. Stir to dissolve the sugar, set aside.
• In a large pot of boiling, salted water, cook the rice noodles al dente. Drain and set aside.
• While the noodles are cooking, heat a wok or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat until hot, about 1 minute. Add 2 tablespoons oil, then the sliced and chopped onion, and garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant and softened but not browned, about 3 minutes Transfer the mixture to a bowl and set aside.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoons oil to the skillet and heat for about 1 minute. Working in 2 batches if necessary, spread the chicken in a single layer in the pan without crowding and cook, undisturbed, until the edges change color, about 1 minute. Turn and continue cooking, tossing now and then, until lightly browned all over, 2 to 3 minutes Add the reserved sauce and onion mixture and cook, tossing occasionally, until the chicken is cooked through and evenly coated, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Remove the pan from the heat and add the basil, tossing until slightly wilted. Serve the chicken over the noodles.

RACHAEL RAY'S BUFFALO CHICKEN CHILI

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F or broiler to medium.
• Place a large pot over medium-high heat, add 1 turn of the pan of EVOO, about 1 tablespoon, and the butter.
• Once the butter has melted and the pot is hot, add the ground chicken.
• Brown it, using the back of a wooden spoon to break it up in to small pieces, about 5-6 minutes.
• Add the carrot, onion, celery, garlic, paprika, bay leaf and some salt and pepper.
• Cook, stirring frequently, for about 3-4 minutes.
• Add the chicken stock and scrape up any brown bits on the bottom of the pot.
• Add the hot sauce, tomato sauce and crushed tomatoes, and bring up to a bubble.
• Simmer for 8-10 minutes to let the flavors come together.
• While the chili is simmering, spread the yellow and blue corn chips out on a cookie sheet.
• Top with the crumbled blue cheese and transfer to the oven to melt the cheese, about 4-5 minutes.
• If using the broiler, 2-3 minutes should do the trick.
• Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the chopped parsley.
• Top each serving of buffalo chicken chili with a few blue cheese-topped corn chips.
