There are a few picky eaters in our fam (unfortunately), so it’s always nice to find a recipe everyone will eat.
We modified it a bit, but with cheese, chicken and pasta, it was a hit with the entire family. We make Spaghetti, Fettuccine Alfredo, and Penne Pasta a lot, but we recently tried a recipe for Triple Cheddar Chicken Pasta (from Homemade by Holman) that was amazing and fairly simple. That is usually when I bust out one of our favorite pasta dishes. Having a weekly menu plan has helped me with that, but I don’t always stick to it, which means I’m trying to think of a yummy dinner idea all the kids will eat. I can attest that the mom feels the same way and often is not excited about having to come up with a dinner everyone will enjoy.
CHICKEN SHARP CHEDDAR CHEESE RECIPES MAC
This recipe is one of our common go-to’s, but we also make Pasta Carbonara, Homemade Mac & Cheese, and Pesto Pasta fairly often as well.ĭinner can be the hardest time of the day when everyone is tired and hungry. Whenever I’m in a dinner time bind, pasta tends to be the answer more often than not. Even my pickiest eaters love it! With pasta, chicken, seasonings, and LOTS of cheese, you definitely can’t go wrong! Made this? Let us know what you think in the comments below.With a creamy homemade cheese sauce, this Triple Cheddar Chicken Pasta has become one of our favorite chicken and pasta dishes. If you do, we highly recommend boiling your chicken-this method will yield moist, tender chicken breasts perfect for shredding! You can use leftover meat from the chicken you roasted last night, you can pick up a rotisserie chicken at the supermarket…you can even cook some chicken specifically for this recipe, if you really want to. (Pro tip: Serrated grapefruit spoons are amazing for this!) Just make sure you wash the knife, the spoon, the cutting board, and your hands thoroughly with warm water and soap afterward. Our favorite method is to slice the jalapeño in half lengthwise, then dig out the seeds and the ribs with a teaspoon. Many people are nervous about digging into spicy peppers, but it’s really no big deal. What’s the best way to deseed a jalapeño pepper? The result is a creamy soup with just a bit of warmth and a kick. Any remaining heat is tamed when the jalapeños are sautéed and balanced by the milk and cream cheese. Most of any hot pepper’s spice lives in the seeds and ribs, and since we suggest that you deseed and clean the jalapeños, the spiciest parts of the peppers don’t actually end up in the soup. Basically it’s everything you think of when you think of a jalapeño popper-in a soup.
This is a creamy soup packed with shredded chicken, crispy bacon, and diced jalapeños, and then topped with shredded cheddar, sliced jalapeños, and more crispy bacon. And if you’re as passionate about poppers as we are, check out our favorite bacon-wrapped jalapeño popper recipe. Read on for more tips on this weeknight soup. If, on the other hand, you’re concerned that it won’t be spicy enough, you can just add a few extra jalapeño slices on top with your cheese and bacon. Additionally, the cream cheese in the soup (yes, there’s cream cheese IN this soup!) helps tone down any lingering heat. This soup has several jalapeños in it, but they’re all deseeded and cleaned, so they’re actually not that spicy. If you’re concerned about the heat, don’t be. Loaded with shredded chicken and diced jalapeños and topped with cheddar and crispy bacon, it has everything we love most about the classic appetizer.
We’ve stuffed them inside chicken, turned them into taquitos, even reimagined them as egg cups, and now we’re using them to inspire this creamy soup. Here at Delish, we’re pretty passionate about our jalapeño poppers.
