Ingredients

Scale

1/2 head Cauliflower, chopped finely
1 red pepper
2 cups shredded carrots
1 small onion, diced
2 celery stalks, diced
1 tablespoon celery leaf, chopped finely
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 pound chicken breast shredded
2 (32 oz) chicken broth carton
8 ounce mild cheddar cheese
8 ounce cream cheese, room tempature softened
1 pint heavy whipping cream
one seasoning packet of ranch dressing
1 cup Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 ounces blue cheese crumbles
2 tablespoon fresh parsley
2 tablespoon fresh chives


Instructions

On a cutting board cut up the cauliflower, red pepper, onion, and celery. Mince the garlic cloves. Set all the vegetables aside.

In a large sauce pan add the olive oil and turn the heat to medium high. Add the vegetables except the cauliflower that were put aside. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Saute until onions are translucent and vegetables are tender.

While the onions are cooking you can cook the chicken. Take a stock pot and add the chicken broth and chicken breasts. Bring the broth to boiling or on medium-high heat; reduce the heat. Cover the pan and simmer until the chicken is no longer pink (170°F), about 15- 20 minutes. Then remove the chicken with a slotted spoon so the broth can drain off back into the stock pot.

Place the cooked chicken breasts on a cutting board. Allow it to cool for 5 minutes. Use either bear claws or 2 forks to shred the chicken.

While the chicken is cooling you can make the creamy buffalo chicken broth. Add the mild cheddar cheese, cream cheese, heavy whipping cream, seasoning packet of ranch dressing, and Frank’s RedHot Buffalo Wing Sauce to the stock pot. Stir it on low and keep stirring till it is all blended together, about 5 minutes.

Then add the shredded chicken, sauteed vegetables, shredded carrots, cauliflower, celery leaf into the stock pot. Cover and simmer for 25 minutes.

Garnish each soup bowl you serve with blue cheese crumbles, fresh chives, and fresh parsley.

Ingredients

Scale

¼ cup butter

3 cups heavy whipping cream

4 cloves garlic, crushed

2 x (5 ounces) freshly shredded parmesan cheese

10 ounces of chopped frozen spinach ( 1 box), drained and thawed

8.5 ounces of sun-dried tomatoes julienne cut (1 jar)

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts grilled

¼ cup chopped parsley

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 egg yolk

¼ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon pepper

12 ounces Barilla fettuccine pasta


Instructions

Grilled Chicken:

For this recipe the chicken breasts are grilled 5-7 minutes per side, or until juices run clear. Make sure to pound the breasts before grilling. The internal temperature should reach 165°F, then you can remove it from the grill. After the chicken breasts have cooled enough to touch you can chop it into pieces using a knife on a cutting board.  

Make The Alfredo Sauce:

On a cutting board chop the garlic cloves finely.

In a medium sauce pan melt the butter over medium heat. Add the heavy whipping cream into the pan and simmer for 5 minutes. Then add the garlic, salt, pepper, and freshly shredded parmesan cheese. Whisk it quickly until it is all melted and well combined. Add the egg yolk and lemon juice and stir. Sauce will be thickened. If the mixture is too thick you can add more cream.

Turn the heat on low and add the spinach. Drain the oil out of the sun-dried tomatoes and blot it with a paper towel. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and stir.

Cook The Fettuccine Noodles:

Cook the pasta noodles according to the package instructions and drain.

Combine All The Ingredients:

After the chicken is done grilling and pasta is cooked you can stir them both in and gently toss to combine.

Serve right away and garnish with parsley and more fresh parmesan if desired.


Notes

This recipe is great for that special date or holiday meal.
