Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Coat the chicken tenders in olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and bake for 20-25 minutes or until cooked through. Once cooked, toss the tenders in buffalo sauce and set aside.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pasta

    In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  3. 3

    Make the Cheese Sauce

    In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, cooking until the mixture thickens. Add the cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  4. 4

    Combine Pasta and Sauce

    Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce, stirring to combine evenly. Fold in the buffalo chicken tenders.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Transfer the mac and cheese to serving plates. Top with crumbled bleu cheese and sliced green onions. Serve hot and enjoy!
