Mac & Cheese is always a good choice, right?? Especially when it’s easy and quick to make!
[If you’re gluten free, check the special notes below!]
Ingredients

Be creative and substitute anything you want with your Mac & Cheese!
Instructions
- Cook the chicken, broccoli and pasta and set aside.
- Over medium heat, melt butter in a large skillet. Add flour and stir for one minute. Whisk in the milk, chicken broth and seasonings. Stir until the mixture is bubbling and starts to thicken.
- Once mixture has thickened a bit, remove from heat, add the cheese, and stir until melted.
- Add the pasta and all the fixins, stir, and enjoy!!
Special Notes:
– Gluten Free? GF noodles and GF flour blends work great with this recipe! For optimum flavor, don’t use almond or coconut flour.
-If you’re cooking for 4 or more people, I would recommend doubling the recipe.
