Ingredient List

Macaroni and Cheesy Chicken

4 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
2 cups uncooked elbow macaroni (about 9 oz)
1 teaspoon onion salt
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1 teaspoon pepper
3 cups milk
4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese (16 oz)
2 cups chopped cooked chicken
1 bag (16 oz) frozen broccoli florets

Topping

4 tablespoons butter, melted
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ panko crispy bread crumbs

Preparation

Heat oven to 375°F. Spray 13x9-inch (3-quart) glass baking dish with cooking spray. Cook and drain macaroni as directed on package, using minimum cook time.
In 5-quart Dutch oven, melt 4 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Beat in flour, onion salt, garlic salt and pepper with whisk until thickened. Cook 1 minute longer. Beat in milk. Heat to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently; boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in 3 cups of the cheese until melted. Stir in macaroni, chicken and frozen broccoli. Pour into baking dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 cup cheese on top.
In small bowl, mix bread crumbs and melted butter; stir until combined. Sprinkle over macaroni mixture.
Bake 33 to 36 minutes or until mixture is bubbly (at least 165°F in center) and bread crumbs are browned.

Tips

Jack Attack! Rather than sharp yellow Cheddar, try swapping in white Monterey Jack cheese for a slightly different flavor.
This recipe tastes amazing with hot slices of Pillsbury™ French bread slathered with cold butter.
