Buffalo Chicken Mac – Meals Made Easy With Kraft

This post is sponsored by Lunchbox

For as long as I can remember, Kraft Macaroni & Cheese has been a staple in my household. As a little girl, I remember piling those little blue boxes in my mom’s shopping cart. When I was a teenager I remember preparing Kraft Macaroni & Cheese for the children I was sitting for… while eating some myself of course. Now as a mom I love serving Kraft Macaroni & Cheese to my family. It has always been my “go to” side, but I never thought to make it as a main dish. When I saw the recipe for Buffalo Chicken Mac on the Kraft Recipe Hub I knew I had to try it – and make our “favorite side” a new “favorite dish.”

This recipe was not only super tasty, but super easy. In fact, I had all of the recipes on hand. This would be perfect for a party or for an every day meal for your family. The creaminess of the Kraft Deluxe mixed with the zing of the buffalo sauce made this an easy favorite.

The original recipe calls for green onions, but we have recently found out that Mike is actually allergic to onions, so I left that part out. I paired it with some fresh steamed broccoli and hot rolls and it was the perfect meal. Better yet it only took about 30 minutes to make from start to finish and we had enough for my family of four plus leftovers for lunch the next day.

Buffalo Chicken Mac

Ingredients

• 1 pkg. (14 oz.) KRAFT Deluxe Macaroni & Cheese Dinner
• 1-1/2 cups chopped cooked chicken breasts
• 1 Tbsp . Buffalo wing sauce
• 1/2 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 1 Tbsp . chopped green onions (optional)

Instructions

1. HEAT oven to 425°F.
2. PREPARE dinner in large saucepan as directed on package.
3. TOSS chicken with wing sauce; stir into Dinner. Spoon into 1-1/2 qt. casserole sprayed with cooking spray; top with shredded cheese.
4. BAKE 5 to 10 min. or until cheese is melted. Sprinkle with onions.

I cooked my chicken breasts using the NuWave, but you can cook it however you want. To save time you could even pick up a rotisserie chicken and shred it. This would even be great to make with leftover turkey! This recipe is so easy even the girls can make it – especially since there is no need for a bunch of measuring. Kraft Deluxe cheese sauce is already ready to go – simply snip the corner and pour.
