Chicken & Broccoli Mac and Cheese

Chicken & Broccoli Mac and Cheese

Chicken & Broccoli Mac and Cheese

Homemade mac and cheese is the ultimate comfort food and it happens to be extremely budget-friendly.

Adding Chicken and broccoli to your mac and cheese adds protein and a healthy dose of nutrients to the dish.  You can even lighten it up a bit by using cottage cheese rather than heavy cream or full-fat milk and you’ll get a creamy consistency without adding a ton of calories.

My kids ask for mac and cheese at least twice a week and rather than serving the boxed variety, I’ve found this easy homemade recipe to be a hit for my family and we always have leftovers for lunches.  My six-year-old hates sandwiches and would rather have “real food” for lunch every day, so this is good for at least 2 or 3 lunches during the week at school.  I simply heat it and put in a thermos for her lunch.

You can use fresh broccoli or frozen.  I’ve tried both and both are fine.  Either way, just steam the broccoli until it turns bright green,  you don’t want to overcook it because then it will become mushy.

Take advantage of the sales on chicken, broccoli and cheese at Safeway to make Chicken & Broccoli Mac and Cheese for dinner this week.
