Midnight Baked Chicken Mac-n-Cheese
My boys are runners and sometimes get home late from track meets and are not interested in a salad. They need comfort food so I threw this together late last night for them.
Don’t be afraid to be creative! Good food from scratch gets easier the more you do it.
Here’s what I had ready to go:
leftover shredded chicken taco meat (the recipe is at southernkelleliving.com)
½ bag of already boiled egg noodles (so ½ lb when uncooked)
Shredded parm, cheddar, queso fresco, milk & cream
Butter and flour to make a quick roux
Here’s how to make the sauce:
In a saucepan combine until golden:
2 tablespoons butter
1-2 tablespoons flour
Slowly whisk in until smooth and thickened:
1 cup lowfat milk
½ cup heavy cream
½ cup grated parmesan
1-2 cups shredded cheddar
Add in cooked noodles, pour into a medium baking dish, top with about 1 cup shredded chicken and a little more cheese (I had a little more parmesan and some queso fresco but any cheese will work)
Pop in the oven and bake at 350° until bubbty (approx. 30 mins)
Serve and enjoy!
