Chive Onion Cheesy Chicken Pasta Recipes

CHEESY CHICKEN AND CHIVE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute chicken until lightly browned; set aside. Melt butter in skillet, and saute garlic for 1 minute. Stir in flour, and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Mix together cream and milk, then gradually whisk into flour mixture until smooth. Whisk in mustard. Return pan to medium heat, and stir constantly until mixture boils and thickens. Stir in chicken, Parmesan and chives. Cook, stirring, until heated through.

CHIVE & ONION CHEESY CHICKEN & PASTA

Steps:

• Cook chicken and noodles in large pan of boiling water 8 min. or until chicken is done and noodles are tender, adding spinach to the boiling water for the last 6 min.; drain. Return chicken mixture to pan.
• Add cream cheese spread, broth and mayo; cook on medium-low heat 5 min. or until cream cheese is completely melted and sauce is well blended, stirring constantly.
• Add cheddar cheese; cook and stir 1 min. or until melted.

CHEESY SPAETZLE WITH FRIED ONIONS & CHIVES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, nutmeg, a few turns of pepper and salt. In a separate bowl, combine the eggs and milk. Stir the egg mixture into the dry mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, use a rubber spatula to press the batter through a large slotted spoon or spätzle maker and boil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the spätzle float to the top. If you find the batter is too thick to press through the slotted spoon, hold the slotted spoon closer to the surface of the boiling water so that the steam softens it a bit. Transfer the spätzle to a strainer, toss in a bit of olive oil so they don't all stick together, and set aside while you make the sauce.
• Transfer the spaetzle directly into the cheese sauce. Top with more chives and crispy fried onions and loads of black pepper and serve. Enjoy!
• To make the sauce: melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Cook onion with a pinch of salt until soft and translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Add a few turns of black pepper and the paprika. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Add milk a third at a time, stirring continuously and allow to thicken after each addition. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add chives and stir. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.

CHEESY LEMON-CHICKEN PASTA

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook linguine at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes, adding frozen peas during the last 2 minutes of cooking time. Drain pasta and peas, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and onion; cook until mushrooms are brown, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Season chicken with salt and pepper. Cook in the same skillet over medium-high heat until browned and no longer pink, 7 to 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms back to the skillet. Add cream cheese, lemon juice, and lemon zest; stir until cream cheese is melted. Remove from heat.
• Fold in Parmesan and Pecorino Romano cheeses, then parsley. Toss with pasta and peas, adding reserved cooking liquid as necessary to make a sauce.
