This is my version of "grown up Mac N Cheese". It was bursting with so much flavor! I always have chicken breasts and pasta laying around and I try to find new things to do with it. I literally could not get enough of this. Charlie went back for thirds and we actually fought over who got to eat the leftovers for lunch the next day.
What you need:
One large thawed chicken breast chopped into bite-sized pieces and coated with steak seasoning (I used McCormicks steak seasoning)
3 Tablespoons butter
1/2 lb penne
1/4 cup flour
2 tablespoons of diced garlic
3 cups milk
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
1 cup mozzarella
1/4 cup grated parmesan
about 1/4 cup bread cups for the top
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. cook Penne until it is almost al dente. Cook diced chicken coated with grilling seasoning and set aside. In a large heat flour and garlic while gradually adding milk. whisk frequently until it is a thick creamy consistency Add sun-dried tomatoes. Take off the heat and add mozzarella and half the parmesan.
Add chicken and pasta to sauce and mix. Pour in a large coated baking pan and top with remaining parmesan and bread crumbs. cook for 25 minutes!
