MOM'S CHICKEN WIGGLE

Mom's Chicken Wiggle image

This is a good way to use up leftover chicken. My Mom used to make this, why she called it chicken wiggle I have no idea, I just know that when I came home from school and knew we were having this, I was in heaven. I have tried to figure it out as close as I can remember. For this you will need a batch of Hailey's Favorite Cheese Sauce, recipe #364959. This is good over toast, saltines (my favorite), or my girls favorite, broad egg noodles. The cook time roughly includes the cook time for the cheese sauce and the the final combo, not the time for cooking or cutting the ckicken.

Tips:

Choose the Right Cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your sauce. For a classic cheese sauce, use a blend of sharp cheddar and Parmesan cheeses. If you want a more unique flavor, try using a combination of Gruyère and Gouda cheeses.
Use Fresh Ingredients: Always use fresh milk and butter for the best flavor. Avoid using pre-packaged or powdered ingredients.
Cook the Sauce Slowly: Don't rush the process of making cheese sauce. Cook it slowly over low heat, stirring constantly, to prevent it from curdling or burning.
Season to Taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a pinch of cayenne pepper or paprika for a little spice.
Use the Sauce Immediately: Cheese sauce is best when served immediately. If you need to store it, let it cool completely and then refrigerate it for up to 3 days. Reheat the sauce gently over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is warmed through.

Conclusion:

Cheese sauce is a versatile and delicious sauce that can be used in a variety of dishes. Whether you are making macaroni and cheese, grilled cheese sandwiches, or nachos, a good cheese sauce can make all the difference. With these tips, you can make a perfect cheese sauce every time.
