Chicken Veggie Mac

As per usual, I forgot an ingredient… Cream cheese helps make this dish more, well, creamy!

Ingredients:

  • 2 boxes macaroni and cheese (I suggest white cheddar if you can get it)
  • 1 10oz container frozen chopped broccoli
  • 2 cups shredded chicken
  • 1 8.5oz can sweet peas
  • 8oz cream cheese

1. Cook macaroni noodles

2. While noodles are cooking, put frozen broccoli and chicken (frozen is okay here too!) in 10” skillet over medium heat to thaw.

3. When noodles are done, drain as much water as you can from the pot. No need for a colander, a little water left is what we want to help make the cheese sauce.

4. Add noodles and cheese packets to 10” skillet with broccoli and chicken. Add in cream cheese and peas. Stir until warmed through. Season as desired.

The cream cheese may be optional if the macaroni you have is creamier and cheesier to begin with.

Next time I make this, I’m trying ranch seasoning. I feel like it can’t go wrong!

This dish is super easy to change up the veggies! Frozen mixed vegetables, anything fresh or canned that you’re craving… Use it as a base to get your fix or to use something up!
