I love this recipe because it's taken me so long to actually get a good tasting noodle and not just a good tasting piece of cheese on top. This recipe was just trial and error and it's really really good in my opinion. I'm really looking for feedback on this recipe. Thanks so much! This is really good even days after for leftovers. The cheese remelts and the flavor really sets in. Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for organic, free-range chicken and freshly grated Parmesan cheese.

  • If you don't have a large pot, you can cook the mac and cheese in batches. Just be sure to keep the cooked mac and cheese warm until you're ready to serve it.
  • Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to the mac and cheese. Some good options include broccoli, cauliflower, and peas.
  • Top the mac and cheese with additional Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, or crumbled bacon before serving.
