Method

Buffalo Chicken

Prepare Chicken

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

Bread the Chicken

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in beaten eggs, and then coat with panko breadcrumbs.

Bake Chicken

Place the breaded chicken on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown.

Buffalo Sauce

Once the chicken is cooked, toss it in buffalo sauce until fully coated. Let it rest while you prepare the mac n' cheese.

Mac N' Cheese

Cook Pasta

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the cavatappi pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

Make Cheese Sauce

In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Add Milk and Cheese

Gradually whisk in milk and bring to a simmer. Stir in the sharp cheddar cheese and cream cheese until melted and smooth. Season with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.

Combine Pasta and Sauce

Add the cooked cavatappi to the cheese sauce and mix until fully combined.

Bake Mac N' Cheese

Transfer the mac n' cheese to a baking dish. Place the buffalo chicken on top and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15-20 minutes. Sprinkle with sliced green onions before serving.

Garlic Bread

Prepare Garlic Butter

In a small bowl, mix softened butter, minced garlic, and chopped parsley until well combined.

Spread on Bread

Slice the French bread in half lengthwise and spread the garlic butter mixture evenly on both halves.

Bake Garlic Bread

Place the bread on a baking sheet and bake in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
