Summary
Baked Macaroni with Chicken
Recipe Summary & Steps
I used to make this all the time, because it's one of my husband's favorite. However, I kind of forgot about it and haven't made it in a long time. I made it last night though and it was very tasty! I wouldn't say that it is incredibly flavorful but I like it because it's really comforting. Also, it's a breeze to make and pretty healthy.
Ingredients:
- 1 box macaroni *see my note below the pictures for an alternative
- 2 boxes chopped frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 4 eggs
- 1/2 cup onion, minced
- 1 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese
- salt and pepper to taste
- you're favorite tomato sauce (optional)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375. Poach chicken by simmering in salted water until cooked through. (You could use any type of chopped chicken. Rotisserie, left over, baked, etc) Boil noodles.
In a separate bowl beat eggs and mix in spinach, onion, parmesan, salt, and pepper. Once chopped chicken and noodles have cooled a little mix those in too.
Place everything in a sprayed casserole dish and top with mozzarella. Cover with foil and bake for 30 minutes.
I like to serve mine with Vodka sauce :)
***Okay a note about the noodles. You could also use spaghetti and bake it in a well sprayed bundt pan. Then remove the noodles onto a plate. Serve the sauce in the hole. I have done this before but didn't have any spaghetti. I think it's more fun for kids and a nicer presentation if you're having guests.***
