Chicken Macaroni Cheese with Granola Crunch Topping

This recipe was designed for a granola challenge I am part of this month.  It is unique and I think the kids will love it because it is sweet and there is chocolate in the granola I used.

Chicken Macaroni Cheese with Granola Crunch Topping

 

 

 

 

Sauté chicken with desired seasons until cooked to 165 degrees internally.   I used onions, peppers, garlic and olive oil for the pan.   Usually some italian, chili and paprika seasoning.  Cut into bite size pieces and put aside.

 

 

Prepare 3 Cups Macaroni following bag or box instructions.  Add to the macaroni when it is cooked 4 ounces of cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar and 6 ounces of processed cheese.  Cook on low heat until all the cheeses are melted and mixed together.  You can season with whatever you would like before adding to the bake safe dish.

 

 

Take an oven safe dish and pour the macaroni and cheese in the bottom, top with spinach leaves, chicken chunks and shredded cheese. 

 

 

Sprinkle  1 Cup of Golden Girl Granola with chocolate over the top. 

 

Put 6 pats of butter on top of the granola. 

 Bake the granola mac and cheese on 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Let cool and Enjoy.
