A delightful twist on classic mac and cheese, featuring spicy chicken and a crispy bacon topping.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a perfect finish.
Melt the butter in a pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until softened. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute.
Stir continuously to prevent the garlic from burning.
Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the half-and-half until smooth. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Whisking constantly prevents lumps in the sauce.
Cook the macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Cook the pasta al dente as it will cook further in the oven.
In a sauté pan, cook the chicken seasoned with adobo seasoning until browned and fully cooked. Add chopped chipotle peppers and toss to coat.
Cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Combine the cooked macaroni, chicken, and cheese sauce in a baking dish. Mix well.
Ensure the sauce coats all the pasta evenly.
Sprinkle the bacon, chives, and parsley over the top. Bake for 20 minutes until golden and bubbly.
For extra crispiness, broil for 2 minutes after baking.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Spicy Chicken Mac and Cheese.
Garnish with extra parsley for a fresh touch.
