Creamy Chicken Macaroni
Also needed
- 1 onion, chopped
Optional
- 30 ml (2 tbsp) parsley, chopped
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 205°C (400°F).
- Place the chicken breasts on a baking dish lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle with BBQ chicken seasoning and rub it in so that the chicken is fully coated with seasoning.
- Bake for 15 to 18 minutes, until the chicken is no longer pink in the centre. Remove the baking dish from the oven. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before cutting it up.
- During this time, cook the pasta al dente in a large pot of boiling, salted water. Drain.
- In the same pot, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Cook the onion for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the dairy blend and bring to a boil over medium heat. Add 375 ml (1½ cups) of cheese and stir until melted.
- Add the macaroni and chicken. Stir. Divide the preparation into four ramekins. Use the remaining cheese to garnish each portion.
- Bake for 5 to 7 minutes, until the cheese is melted
- Bake for 2 to 3 minutes under the broiler, until the cheese is golden-brown.
- Garnish with parsley before serving, if desired.
