Today's meal came together out of necessity. I had half a roast chicken left and it was mostly dark meat. I don't like dark meat. It makes me sad. So anyway. I pulled the chicken off the bones and thought about what I was going to do with this chicken...and this is what I came up with.
Step 1 - Make a roux (I used butter and tapioca starch, you can use flour)
Step 2 - Slowly add 1/2 a container of chicken stock while whisking. (I used what was left over from homemade gravy yesterday, it was a 32oz container and I used a little less than half yesterday.)
Step 3 - 3 tablespoons of cream cheese while whisking
Step 4 - Salt and pepper to taste
Step 5 - Taste the sauce. It will be kind of sticky. This is okay.
Step 6 - A few handfuls of shredded cheese
Step 7 - Whisk in the cheese.
Step 8 - Thin with a few splashes of milk.
Step 9 - Frozen broccoli (2 or 4 handfuls. We like broccoli.) Stir. Let cook for awhile.
Step 10 - Stir in the chicken and let simmer.
Step 11 - Boil some pasta (I used Farmo- corn and rice penne) and cook it to al' dente (This is important. I did not do this and when I combined all the stuff, the hot cheese sauce cooked the pasta further resulted in delicious but ugly pasta.) Drain.
Step 12 - Combine sauce goodness with pasta-y goodness.
Step 13 - Nom. :)
