Ingredients
- 12 oz Uncooked Macaroni Noodles
- 8 oz cream cheese cubed
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp kosher salt
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
- 2 cups cooked & shredded boneless, skinless chicken breast
- ½ cup BBQ sauce
- 2 tbsp fresh cilantro
Instructions
- Cook the macaroni noodles according to package directions, drain, then set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, add the cream cheese and chicken broth to a separate large pot on the stove, and bring to a boil.
- Whisk consistently until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth.
- Reduce the heat to medium, and add the onion powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper, combine well, then add the mozzarella cheese.
- Stir continuously until the cheese has melted into the sauce, then add the chicken and bbq sauce.
- Add the cooked macaroni noodles, stir to combine, then transfer to a serving bowl and top with the cilantro.
Notes
- Vegetarian Option: Omit the chicken. The cheesy BBQ sauce is so good on its own, you could definitely do it without chicken! Also, use vegetable broth instead of chicken broth.
- Gluten Free Option: Substitute gluten-free macaroni noodles. Always make sure the chicken broth and BBQ sauce used is gluten-free.
