Can I substitute leftovers for an ingredient in a recipe I want to make? Can I serve this meal in a variety of ways? Is it doable to make this on a weeknight, or can I change it a bit to make it special for a weekend dinner party?

When it comes to this Easy Chicken Mac and Cheese, the answer to all of those questions is “yes!”

I'm in!  

But I just don't see the point of those little breadcrumb toppings.  I never have.

Suggestions...Ochoa's green chile chorizo is a fantastic addition to any Mac and Cheese dish. Just make sure you get the gringo version of the chorizo...they aren't kidding when they say the hot isn't for white people.

Having kids has ruined mac and cheese for me.

you see it a lot when you start to head east. it was new to me too, but when i go to kansas city you see it everywhere. the south homemade mac and cheese is always going to be like this. i like it, it adds a different texture.

I don't get it.  It tastes like someone sprinkled sawdust on your food.

it didn't even take that for me. i reached a point where only kraft mac 'n cheese was the one i liked. all others were very blah. since i'm no longer eating pasta, i dont really miss it.

depends how much is used, but i see your point. to each their own. i've had it where it's terrible and overkill, and i've had it where it didn't do too much either way.

Wow this sounds amazing!

You need a powerful flavor to make chicken good. Likewise, you need a powerful flavor to make mac and cheese good. Why anyone would put the two together is beyond me. Bad!

My wife made this last night for me (sans sawdust), bless her heart. 

I wanted to ask her to get a chile to roast and chop in there, but I forgot to ask her.

I was kind of worrying about it being bland, but the half of sweet onion really helped the flavor.

Two thumbs up, and my thanks to the chicken who gave his/her life for the meal.
