  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– 300 grams cooked chicken breast (shredded or diced)

– 200 grams processed cheese (cubed)

– 200 grams linguine pasta

– 2 tablespoons butter

– 2 cloves garlic (minced)

– 240 ml milk

– 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)

Instructions

1-Getting started with Velveeta Chicken Linguine begins with preparing your ingredients for smooth cooking. First, boil the 200 grams of linguine pasta until al dente, following the package directions, which takes about 8-10 minutes. In a separate pan, sautΓ© the 2 cloves of minced garlic in 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until it smells fragrant, roughly 1-2 minutes, as this adds a fresh, aromatic base.

2-Next, in another pot, melt the 200 grams of cubed processed cheese with 240 ml of milk over low heat, stirring gently to create a creamy sauce and avoid any separation. Once smooth, mix in the 300 grams of cooked, shredded chicken breast to combine the flavors. Then, drain the pasta and add it to the sauce, stirring everything together until well coated, and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper to taste for a balanced flavor.
