Directions for Crispy Chicken Mac 'n Cheese
1. Cook the macaroni
In a large pot, bring salted water to a boil. Add elbow macaroni and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the chicken
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the chicken breast into bite-sized pieces. In a bowl, beat the egg and dip each chicken piece into the egg, then coat with flour and breadcrumbs. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
3. Make the cheese sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Gradually whisk in milk, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Cook until thickened, then stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheese until melted.
4. Combine everything
In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, cheese sauce, and marinara sauce. Mix well, then fold in the crispy chicken pieces.
5. Bake
Transfer the mixture into a greased baking dish. Top with additional mozzarella and Parmesan if desired. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until bubbly and golden on top.
6. Serve
Serve hot with breadsticks on the side.
