These Carbs Don't Count
June 6, 2025
This Crispy Chicken Mac & Cheese is a wildly satisfying dish that brings the best of comfort food together. Golden, breaded chicken bites sit atop a velvety cheese sauce made from cheddar, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a touch of velveeta for that extra creaminess. Tossed with perfectly cooked pasta and finished with a hit of parsley and more cheese, this is the kind of meal that earns repeat requests.
