Instructions
- Using rotisserie chicken, shred to have at least 2 cups, save remaining for other use (depending on size of rotisserie chicken).
- In a large Dutch oven over medium low heat melt the butter and sauté the onion and garlic with the cumin for several minutes.
- Add the flour and stir to combine. We are making a roux, it should cook and turn a golden color on medium heat. Add the chicken stock and stir to make a thick paste. Next turn the heat to low and add the milk. Stir to incorporate completely. By adding the milk to the basic roux and chicken stock we have made a béchamel sauce.
- Meanwhile in another large pot cook the pasta per package instructions. Drain and set aside, saving 1/4 cup of the pasta water.
- Add the pasta water and cheese to the béchamel sauce and whisk to melt in. Next add the roasted green chilies.
- Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the Dutch oven that has the green chili cheese sauce. Toss to coat evenly and serve.
Notes
- Substitute canned chiles with 4 fresh seeded, roasted and chopped green chiles like Hatch, Anaheim or other mild green chile. Feel free to add a diced jalapeño for heat too, if you prefer.
