Sam's Chicken Mac 'n' Cheese (Crock Pot) image

This recipe is similar to Recipe #81853, but I made a few changes based on the what I had, added some chicken and tried to work on that 'floury taste' a few people commented on. Its not traditional mac and cheese but it hearty and tasty.

Time 1h5m

Yield 3-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/4 cup flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper pepper
1/2 brown onion, chopped finely
1 small red chili (I used one from a jar)
1 garlic clove, finely chopped
4 cups milk
1 1/2 cups of grated cheddar cheese
2 1/2 cups uncooked small penne pasta
300 g of sliced chicken breasts
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Fry chicken in butter (I used a large pot, as everything starts here before the slowcooker!) until chicken is white, add onion and garlic continue to fry until chicken is golden.
  • Remove the chicken mix from the pot.
  • Add milk, salt, pepper, chilli and flour in to the pot.
  • Stir over medium heat until sauce thickens, turn heat down.
  • Add cheese, stir until mixed evenly and add chicken mixture back into pot.
  • Add pasta and stir until well combined.
  • Pour everything into a greased crock pot and cook on high for 45 minutes to an hour, stirring halfway through, to ensure nothing sticks to the bottom.
  • Stir it once more when done and serve.
