COOKING THURSDAY ~ BUTTERMILK CHICKEN CORN PASTA ~ BLOG 365.106B

I saw a recipe in a Bon appetit magazine for BUTTERMILK CORN PASTA that called for buttermilk powder. It also called for FRESH corn on the cob that just can’t be found at this time of year easily. I really wanted to make the recipe so I substituted a few ingredients to create this version.

Their recipe called for boiling 3 corn cobs to create a corn water that the pasta is then cooked al dente in. The corn water is the secret ingredient aka liquid gold flavor.

BUTTERMILK CHICKEN CORN PASTA

2-12 ounce packages or 3 cans fire roasted corn
FRESH ground sea salt, to taste
12 ounces of your favorite small pasta
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
8 garlic cloves, FINELY minced
1 SMALL jalapeno, thinly sliced or diced
1/4 cup basil chiffonades
1 1/2-2 cups rotisserie chicken pieces
½ teaspoon Ancho chile powder
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
2 cups buttermilk
1 cup Mexican sour cream
Juice of 1 LARGE lemon
½ cup cotija cheese, plus more for topping

  • Add 1 bag of corn to 4 cups of salted water.
  • Bring to SLOW boil and boil 10 minutes.
  • Puree corn with an immersion blender into the water.
  • Using a mesh colander strain the corn water into another pan and bring to a boil.
  • Add pasta and cook al dente (1 minute less than package directions).
  • Drain, reserving 2 cups of corn water. Set pasta aside.
  • Melt butter in a deep pan over medium heat.
  • Add the garlic, and cook until fragrant, about one minute.
  • Add the corn, salt and spices cooking and stirring occasionally 4-5 minutes, until the corn has completely thawed and is tender.
  • Stir in chicken pieces.
  • Whisk together the sour cream, buttermilk, lemon juice and 1 cup of the reserved corn pasta water. Stir, adding more pasta water as necessary, until a creamy sauce forms.
  • Stir in the cotija cheese.
  • Serve immediately.

NOTE:

  • Taco seasoning to taste is a great substitute for the individual seasonings.
  • If using canned corn, drain first and use corn “juice” in pasta water.

I found this recipe online recipe for, “THE ORIGINAL MARRY ME CHICKEN” that claims she created this dish in 2016 by way of re-creating Ina Garten’s “Engagement Roast Chicken” and the videographer saying, “I’d marry you for that chicken!”.

We’ll just have to call her version number two as I’ve been making it since 2011 when I got the original recipe from my friend Maggie one winter. There are a few small differences, but as for the name, Maggie called it MARRY ME CHICKEN long before 2016.

NOTE: This recipe can be short-cutted for a weeknight meal by using shredded rotisserie chicken, especially because the sauce is the star.

COOKING THURSDAY ~ CREAMY CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP ~ BLOG 365.85A

Are you a “broth” or “creamy” chicken noodle soup person? My great grams made a chicken and noodles dinner that was always served over mashed potatoes. But, thin it down JUST a bit and you have a terrific thicker creamy chicken noodle soup that I net will become your family’s new favorite version. Grams made her own noodles and started with a whole chicken to boil down to make her broth – hey for all I know she grew the veggies and plucked the chicken, but as the recipe has been handed down the flavor has stayed the same even with grocery store short cuts.

Many consider chicken noodle soup a cure all, but it is also a completely comforting hearty meal, plus it covers ALL the food groups – proteins, vegetables, carbs and dairy and a hint of spice with the smoked paprika. Stirring in half a cup of heavy cream, 1 cup of frozen peas and a splash of sherry vinegar absolutely delectable.
