this uh pot right here you know what I mean so I want to almost call it a one pot meal it's kind of like going to be that way let's check it out okay so look first thing we going to do is we want to get our uh seasoning for our chicken right and while you guys looking at all of these ingredients that I have right here don't forget the full ingredient list that is print printable right it's on my website smoking and Grilling withth a.com and that's WI AB b.com now let me make this room I'm going go ahead and put in about a full teaspoon even if it's heaping that's okay that's a half and that's a half right so then then we'll do the same with the parsley okay so it's really like salt to taste but I can tell you if you just give it a couple of generous pinches cuz we got two big you know uh chicken breast right and then for the pepper we just going to grind uh you want to i' say you want to at least put about a teaspoon of this in there too I'm going to grind me up some so now I use my whisk some of you guys going to use that fork we going if you want to keep it authentic do it like Grandma used to do it go ahead and use that fork get myself some Saran Wrap You Know cover this like that right then you want to get yourself a tenderizer so all right now that we have this flattened Olive is about even we about 1 in all the way throughout look I'm going to go ahead and try fire my burner I just want to put it on like a medium heat put this over the top now you guys know I cook with extra virgin olive oil this happens to be branch and Vine you know this right here is infused olive oil you know what I mean so I always do garlic infused cuz I'm always cooking with it right so I just put a little bit in there just like that now while that's starting to heat up let's come on back to this right here now remember we made our little rub right this is our seasoning now you just want to go ahead and put some of this you know on each side I didn't need to coat or nothing like that I don't need to all right I just want to get it just the way you see I can tell the way it's moving around you know what I mean just how how it looks you can see those little ripples in there you know what I mean that tells me it's ready it kind of like pulls back all right so now I got some good heat now I just go ahead and put these in just like this all right so let me turn my fire off you see that right there that's what we looking for it's the color and then right now we probably real close you know what I mean cuz I did check it now I let my pan come down on you know in the temperature right so then what I did was I actually turned it off I turned it back on right now you know to get it right cuz what I want to do is I want to melt my butter right you see all that in there all that's going to come into play cuz that's going to be our flavor folks all right once that's finished I'm going to add my garlic excuse me my onions right now we're going to go ahead and mince right if you guys don't have yourself one of these press I mean you can still do it the regular way you know like Min them down you know I mean that's totally up to you but since I don't might as well say I discovered this right here I want to know what was taken why my Grandmama didn't have me you know using one of these I guess you was trying to let me get my skills up right so you see all of that right there I like to take something with a hard Edge on it you know what I mean and I just do this now notice I'm putting it right here on the top now we getting ready to take that white wine right now we add that woo now we cooking folks we got sundried Tomatoes right I have a strainer here I'm doing it like this so we can just get some of that oil off of it right now we going to work this in here with this when you follow me you know what I mean uh if you went to my website you got a printable recipe or you you copied did some screenshots or whatever you put it on your phone right as you reading look I pull what I need next and I have everything organized right cuz this isn't in the order that I'm going to need it right so we got flour I'm getting ready to add the flow to the top of this right so now that I have the flour in here we going to go ahead and just get this to blend in it's going to absorb anything else that's in the inside but we want to cook that flour taste out right this is going to be like the thickening agent you know for the end [Music] result after about a minute or so right we cook that flour taste out of there now I'm getting ready to come with my stock or broth now you see it kind of like cooled the pan immediately I mean I don't do that you know by raising up the uh temperature what I do is I let it come back up naturally once I see it starts to uh boil again then I add my half and half it came back up on its own organically right without me raising my temperature and you can see it's starting to get a little thick look right so now we bring our half and half now this is 3 cups I'm going to add in a little bit but I'm going to save myself and Reserve about a half a cup back right and now we going to put in about a tablespoon of this Italian seasoning so I'm just going to mix this let this heat you saw it started to you know come back to a boil right we going to set it down to a simmer in just a minute but right now we want to go ahead and get everything everything mixed together you can see the herbs and everything now you just want to add your macaroni right we're going to let this come back up to the boil and we going to let this go for about 9 to 10 minutes right all right so if you pay attention now look at this right here look at how creamy that is you can see the sun dry oh my goodness and you can feel the texture on youro look this is right right here you don't want them to be too soft you know why cuz we going to do a little bit more to it but you see how it cuts that's what you want right so now I'll stick that there now I'm getting ready to add my spinach right so we just start adding this in here right we just work this in there now for those of you guys just say hey I don't really do spinach I guess you could leave this part out but you got to I got to be honest with you uh you got to try it you know what I mean if you never have uh and it's like leveling up our game you know not making the same old same old all the time right we just going to let this heat work with it all right so look I'm going to give you guys a little bit of a tip right you can use your chicken stock or chicken broth and add that to it just a little bit you know what I mean to help get your spinach where it needs to be right these are just like little tips you make those calls when you do it you don't want to overdo it right because we got to add cheese to it we still got about a half a cup of milk you know a half and half left all this come into play and we still continuing to cook right so

once everything came back to a boil you know you can see that I can see that my spinach is nice and soft and you know wilter down that's look at that all right now I'm going to remove it from the fire
