Tender Chicken Breast in a Rich Garlic Mushroom Cream

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
300 grams fresh mushrooms, sliced
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth (halal certified)
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and nearly cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the onion and garlic and sauté until the onion is translucent.
Add the mushrooms and thyme, and continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, until the mushrooms are soft and browned.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the breasts. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, until the chicken is thoroughly cooked.
Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

The Ultimate Brisket Mac and Cheese Recipe: Creamy & Easy Comfort Food

Ingredients

For the Mac and Cheese
16 ounces pipe rigate pasta or shells
2.5 cups whole milk
1.5 cups heavy cream
1 cup vegetable broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Slap Ya Mama® seasoning or Creole seasoning
0.5 teaspoon ground mustard
0.5 teaspoon turmeric
0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
2 cups white cheddar cheese shredded
2 cups sharp cheddar cheese shredded
For the Brisket
2 cups leftover beef brisket shredded
0.25 cup beef broth
0.25 cup barbecue sauce your favorite

Instructions

First things first, get your pasta cooking according to the package directions. Make sure to salt your water generously – it's like seasoning the pasta from the inside out! Once it's al dente (that means still having a slight bite), drain it well and set it aside. Don't rinse it! We want that pasta to be ready to soak up all that delicious cheese sauce.16 ounces pipe rigate pasta
Grab a large saucepan or Dutch oven. Pour in the whole milk, heavy cream, and vegetable broth. Place it over medium heat and let it come to a gentle simmer. You'll see little bubbles forming around the edges – that's what we're looking for, not a rolling boil.16 ounces pipe rigate pasta
Now for the flavor boost! Whisk in the garlic powder, onion powder, Slap Ya Mama® seasoning, ground mustard, turmeric, and black pepper. Give it a good stir to distribute all those wonderful spices.16 ounces pipe rigate pasta
This is where the magic really happens! Gradually add your shredded white cheddar and sharp cheddar cheeses to the simmering liquid. Stir continuously until all the cheese is melted and you have a gloriously smooth, creamy sauce. Keep the heat on low to prevent the cheese from becoming grainy.16 ounces pipe rigate pasta
In a separate small bowl, combine your shredded leftover brisket with the ¼ cup of beef broth and the barbecue sauce. This little mixture adds so much depth and moisture to the brisket, ensuring every bite is packed with flavor.16 ounces pipe rigate pasta
Now, add the cooked pasta and the flavorful brisket mixture directly into your luscious cheese sauce. Stir everything gently until the pasta and brisket are perfectly coated in that creamy, cheesy goodness.16 ounces pipe rigate pasta
