One of my absolute favorite recipes is the Mac N Cheese recipe. It is to die for! I've made it pretty much every week since I picked this baby up!
Ingredients:
- 3 cups cooked whole wheat macaroni
- 4 tsp coconut oil
- 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 1/4 cups sharp cheddar cheese
- 3 cups cooked chicken breast
- 6 cups steamed broccoli
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground pepper
Instructions
- Pre-make the chicken, broccoli, and macaroni.
- Note: follow the box of macaroni for cooking instructions but skip any "extras" like salt or oil
- Melt oil in a large saucepan
- Add flour and whisk continuously for 1 minute or until brown
- Slowly whisk in almond milk, stirring constantly for 1-2 minutes until thickened
- Reduce heat to low and add cheese, continue to whisk for 2-3 minutes until all cheese is melted
- Add chicken, broccoli, macaroni, salt, and pepper. Stir for 1 minute or until heated through.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Mason cannot get enough of this recipe! He loves it!
Another thing I LOVE about this is how great the leftovers keep. I'm always skeptical of reheating broccoli but this heats up perfectly!
