INGREDIENTS

Step 1

First, preheat the oven to 350°F. That way it’s ready when you’re done assembling the mac and cheese. Then, while the pasta cooks, combine the breadcrumbs, melted butter, and salt in a small bowl. Mix until it looks like wet sand and set it aside.

Step 2

In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Sprinkle in the flour and continuously whisk for a minute until the butter and flour become a paste.

Step 3

Pour in milk, whisking to ensure the flour mixture dissolves into the milk. Continue adding the rest of the milk while constantly whisking until you have a smooth, lump-free mixture. Mix in the seasoning.

Step 4

Continue to whisk for about 5-8 minutes until the sauce thickens. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the cheese. It doesn’t need to be fully melted; it will continue to melt in the oven.

Step 5

Season to taste and then add in the cooked pasta, chicken, and bacon. Give everything a good stir and then sprinkle with the breadcrumb topping. Bake for 25 minutes until the top is lightly golden.

Step 6

Garnish with chopped parsley and black pepper, if desired. Enjoy!
