Chicken and Cheddar Souffle

My first souffle! Of course I dove right in since I'm motivated to make anything with tons of cheese involved, thanks Giada: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/giada-de-laurentiis/chicken-and-cheddar-souffle-recipe/index.html

Recommendations: Have everything ready to go, meaning everything out, measured, cut, etc. I usually get the ingredients out as I go but I definitely got flustered with this one not having everything ready. It helps but not necessary. Having all your refrigerated items at room temperature helps but it is not essential. I usually always forget about that step and I didn't pull out the ingredients until right before I started making the dish and it still worked out! Let me tell ya'll I feel like I made tons of mistakes (didn't even buy the exact ingredients and I was on the phone! :0) in this dish but somehow it still came out beautiful! Folding in the egg whites should not be intimidating-- folding is almost like stirring but gentler. By the way, prep takes way more time than what it says on the website; it is worth it though!

The recipe calls for this to bake for 55 to 60 minutes--mine only took thirty and when she prepares it on her show she says thirty. Therefore I recommend baking this for 30 minutes.

This is a beautiful one dish meal that's great for holidays or potlucks! Tasty, new, and different!
