How to Make Spicy Garlic Cream Cheese Chicken Tagliatelle
Now that you have all your ingredients ready, let’s dive into the cooking process. This Spicy Garlic Cream Cheese Chicken Tagliatelle comes together in just a few simple steps. Follow along, and you’ll have a delicious meal on the table in no time!
Step 1: Cook the Tagliatelle
Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, add the tagliatelle. Cook according to the package directions until it’s al dente. This usually takes about 8-10 minutes. Remember to reserve about 120 ml of that pasta water before draining. It’s liquid gold for your sauce!
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
While the pasta cooks, it’s time to prep the chicken. In a bowl, toss the bite-sized chicken pieces with paprika, chili flakes, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3: Sauté the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the seasoned chicken. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside. This step is crucial for achieving that perfect sear!
Step 4: Make the Alfredo Sauce
Lower the heat to medium and add the unsalted butter and minced garlic to the same skillet. Cook for about 30-60 seconds until the garlic is fragrant but not burnt. Then, add the cream cheese and chicken broth, stirring until the cream cheese starts to melt. Pour in the heavy cream, followed by the Italian seasoning, chili flakes, and black pepper. Let it simmer gently for 2-4 minutes, stirring frequently. The sauce should be smooth and creamy by now.
Step 5: Combine Chicken and Pasta
Return the sautéed chicken to the skillet. Add the cooked tagliatelle and toss everything together until the pasta is well coated in that luscious sauce. If the sauce feels too thick, gradually add the reserved pasta water, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
Step 6: Garnish and Serve
Finally, it’s time to plate up! Garnish your Spicy Garlic Cream Cheese Chicken Tagliatelle with fresh parsley, extra Parmesan, and a sprinkle of chili flakes for that extra kick. If you like, a tiny squeeze of fresh lemon juice can brighten the dish beautifully. Serve it hot and watch everyone dig in!
Honey Bbq Chicken Rice
Ingredients:
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken thighs or breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
- 1 cup long-grain white rice, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups chicken broth, preferably low-sodium
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce (mesquite flavor recommended for extra smokiness)
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (frozen or fresh - peas, carrots, corn, and bell peppers work well)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable or olive oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
- 2-3 green onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- Extra drizzle of BBQ sauce
Instructions:
1. Prepare the ingredients: If using chicken breasts, cut them into 1-inch cubes or bite-sized pieces (chicken thighs can be left a bit larger). Mix all the seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper) in a small bowl. Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear, then drain well. Have all other ingredients measured and ready to go.
2. Season and sear the chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Sprinkle half of the seasoning mixture over the chicken pieces. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the pan in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd (work in batches if needed). Sear for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown but not necessarily cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside.
3. Toast the rice: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil. Add the rinsed and drained rice to the pan along with the remaining seasoning mixture. Stir constantly and cook for 1-2 minutes until the rice becomes slightly translucent around the edges and smells toasty. This step adds depth of flavor to the final dish.
4. Add liquids and sauce: Carefully pour in the chicken broth (it may splatter), BBQ sauce, and honey. Stir well to combine, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan - these contain tons of flavor! Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low.
5. Return chicken and simmer: Add the seared chicken back to the pan, nestling the pieces into the rice mixture. Cover the skillet with a tight-fitting lid and simmer on low heat for 15 minutes. Resist the urge to lift the lid or stir, as this will release steam and affect the cooking of the rice.
6. Add vegetables: After 15 minutes, quickly add the mixed vegetables on top of the rice and chicken, spreading them evenly. Cover again immediately and continue cooking for another 5 minutes, or until the rice is tender, the vegetables are heated through, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
7. Rest and fluff: Remove the pan from the heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. This resting period allows the rice to absorb any remaining liquid and the flavors to meld together. After resting, uncover and gently fluff the rice with a fork, carefully incorporating the vegetables.
8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle the sliced green onions and/or chopped parsley over the top if using. For extra BBQ flavor, drizzle a small amount of additional BBQ sauce over the dish just before serving. Serve hot, directly from the skillet for a rustic presentation or transfer to a serving dish.
Day 27 -- Horseman
The heralding in of harvest time with a race had been tradition in the northern reaches of Galeswept for millennia, and remained as a practice to this day mostly to give the youths something to do that didn't involve vandalism.
Day 29 -- Firelight
Nobody knew where the mimics came from and they were rare enough to be considered only ghost stories, but it was common knowledge that if encountered, the dog-like pretenders must be burned, and the pyres watched to ensure they don't try to crawl out again.
