  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup extra sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
  • 1 tablespoon diced jalapeno
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • kosher salt to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 4 large russet potatoes, cut into fries

  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch

Instructions

Step one

In a pan heat oil, add garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken and Cajun seasoning. Cook the chicken for about 8-10 minutes or until golden and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate.

Step two

Reduce the heat to medium. Add Red Gold Garlic Tomato Paste to the skillet and cook for about 20-30 seconds. Add Red Gold Petite Diced Tomatoes with Green Chilies. Whisk in the cream and Italian seasoning until smooth. Let the sauce cook for another 3-5 minutes.

Step three

Add the chicken back to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with mozzarella cheese and let melt for 1-2 minutes on low heat.

Step four

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the top, stirring constantly for about 1-2 minutes until a thick paste forms.  Slowly pour the milk into the flour paste, whisking constantly. Continue cooking, whisking constantly until the mixture thickens, about 3 minutes.

Step five

Add the shredded cheese, continuing to whisk until it is melted. Add the diced jalapenos, paprika and garlic powder. Taste, add salt and pepper if desired. 

Step six

Wash the potatoes. Use a crinkle cutter knife to cut them into slices, then cut them into individual fries.  Add water, salt and vinegar to a pot. Parboil the potatoes for 5 minutes. Drain and pat dry with a kitchen towel.

Step seven

In a mixing bowl add cornstarch and salt, mix well. Add the sliced fries, coating them with the flour mixture, shake off the excess. Heat oil and cook fries, in small batches, until golden brown and crispy. Drain on a clean cooking rack.  Sprinkle with salt.

Step eight

In a serving bowl, add a layer of fries, top with the chicken, finish by adding melted cheese sauce on top. Garnish with chives and more jalapenos if desired. Serve warm.
