Cooking Instructions
Cook the Pasta
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add the elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Make the Cheese Sauce
In the same pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in the milk, stirring constantly until the mixture thickens. Add the shredded white cheddar cheese and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Combine Pasta and Sauce
Add the cooked macaroni to the cheese sauce and mix well to coat the pasta evenly.
Prepare the Chicken
If using grilled chicken, slice it into strips. If using fried chicken, ensure it is cooked and chopped into bite-sized pieces. Add either chicken type to the mac and cheese mixture.
Serve
Transfer the mac and cheese to a serving dish. Drizzle the remaining honey BBQ sauce on top, and sprinkle with chopped chives before serving.
