Serving: This creamy mac and cheese pairs wonderfully with a side salad, roasted vegetables, or garlic bread. It’s a complete meal in itself but can be enhanced with your favorite sides!
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stovetop, adding a splash of milk or cream if the sauce thickens too much.
Variations
Spicy Kick: For a bit of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or some crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce.
Vegetarian Version: Omit the chicken and substitute with sautéed vegetables like bell peppers, mushrooms, and spinach for a tasty vegetarian version.
Cheese Lover’s: Add some cream cheese or gouda cheese for extra creaminess and flavor depth.
