Some delicious macaroni or elbow pasta salad
With chipotle, with a cream substitute, with chicken
'Mac and Cheese' in a healthy 'Tex-Mex' style
Hi, my name is Laura and I teach you to cook healthy
All my recipes can be eaten by people with diabetes
With cholesterol, with hypertension, on diets
Well, delicious! Because I give you substitutes
So that they end up way, way healthier
And today we're going to make this tasty recipe that you're going to love
Above all for all those babes who later write me
'Laura, my kid's piñata is coming
And I don't know what to cook for the moms'
Or you have the baby shower and you want something cheap
And at the end everybody tells you
'How delicious the food turned out'
This is going to fascinate you
To start I put three tablespoons of water to boil
I'm going to add one minced garlic clove
Of onion finely diced
The amounts of chicken and pasta will be to your taste
About 350 grams of chicken
I'm going to leave it there. We're going to season it with a little salt
If you want add a bit of pepper, salt to taste
There it is. Now let's leave this cooking here
While we start making our sauce that will be the secret
I'm going to leave it on medium-low heat
I'm going to cover and let's go with the sauce
One garlic clove. We're going to place it
And we're going to add two chipotle peppers, okay?
I'm opening my can here
They're called 'La Morena'
That brand of chipotle peppers
People from the United States write me a lot
Saying they don't find it in the supermarket
Where can you find it, you can find it at Walmart
Also at Hispanic supermarkets
There you can find 'La Morena' products
They have chipotle peppers that smell really good
And on top I got a bunch and they come with lots of broth
You know it even works to make more salsa
And I also have the pickled peppers
They have beans and a huge variety of Mexican products
You find them, like I said, in those supermarkets
So we're using here
The little chipotles from 'La Morena'
Let's add one cup of skim milk
Note: I'm doing this to replace the cream
If you don't want the healthy or light version
Just use cream
Mexican crema that we use for recipes
If you're in the United States you can use sour cream
Just add a little milk
But the Greek yogurt gives you a tangy flavor
It's a super healthy dairy
To avoid putting in all the fat
And anyway keep making those delicious pastas
Without all the little sin they usually bring
Let's add salt to taste
Let's mix these ingredients
I cooked the pasta well and then drained the water
Don't even think of rinsing it
We need that little water the pasta leaves
And I also finished cooking the chicken alone
One: if you want to add the cream there
You have to warm it first so that it won't curdle
I chose better: I'm going to cook the chicken separately
Our pasta and we will add all the ingredients like this
Taking advantage that this pasta is still a bit warm
The advantage here is that you can eat it cold
Or hot, whichever you like
So even for a picnic you can take it super easily
Let's add the chicken now
Look: I seasoned them well with pepper
With salt, the onion and the garlic we had added
It's already well seasoned as you can see
Let's put that onion
Let it go in there too because it will add more flavor
Our mixture we made with 'La Morena' chipotle
Yes, it all depends if you want it thicker
Or if you want it more liquid
If you want it thicker add only half a cup of milk
If you want it more liquid
It can be one cup of milk
It's your choice. So let's add
Now the tasty sauce that's going to give the special
Chipotle touch to this recipe
And after this you have two options: you can use
Or Chihuahua cheese or fresh cheese, it's your choice
I'm going to use one cup of Chihuahua cheese
And let's mix all this
Oh! Just look there: how delicious it looks
The same heat of the pasta
And of the chicken will help the cheese melt
Or the other option you have is like this: it can stay cold
Like a delicious elbow salad with chicken
Or else, still if you want
You can put it a bit in the oven so the sauce gets thicker
And that cheese melts and gets a little gratin
If you want to put it in the oven
350 degrees Fahrenheit, 180 Celsius, keep an eye
From 5 to 10 minutes and this comes out
Wonderful! See how tasty, but like this it's already great, ready to eat
My chipotle 'Mac and Cheese' I didn't even put it in the oven
I just put it to gratin a little
And, you don't know, it was two little minutes
Just look how beautiful it looks
And then look how—tasty! You're going to drive crazy
Whoever goes to your gathering, or your husband, or the parents
So that they make it. I hope you like it
