Chicken Mac and Cheese image

My Chicken Mac and Cheese is perfectly saucy, made with both stretchy mozzarella and sharp cheddar. It's the comfort meal you've been craving! Try is straight out of the pot, or follow my easy additional instructions to bake it.

Categories     Dinner

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounce elbow macaroni (or penne, rigatoni, ziti)
2 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound chicken breasts (skinless and boneless, cut in small pieces)
1 medium onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
1/4 teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
3 tablespoon all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1 teaspoon dried mustard
1 cup mozzarella cheese (shredded)
2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to keep the pasta from sticking together. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet. Add the chicken and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until no longer pink and cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • In the same skillet add the onions and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until softened and translucent. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until aromatic. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Sprinkle the flour over the onion mixture and stir. Cook for another minute. Whisk in the milk and dried mustard. Add the mozzarella, cheddar cheese and stir it in. Continue to cook until the cheese has melted.
  • Add the chicken and pasta to the skillet and stir everything together. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Serve garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
