Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

  2. 2

    Grill the Chicken

    Place the chicken on the grill and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side, or until fully cooked and internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C). Brush BBQ sauce on the chicken during the last few minutes of grilling.

  3. 3

    Cook the Macaroni

    While the chicken is grilling, boil a large pot of salted water and cook the macaroni pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  4. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    Once the chicken is done, remove it from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes. Then, chop the chicken into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, chopped chicken, remaining BBQ sauce, and shredded cheddar cheese.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Mix everything well and serve warm, garnished with chopped green onions on top.
