Yield 3 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 box Kraft® Macaroni and Cheese Blue Box Original
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
¼ cup milk
½ medium red onion, diced
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 cup shredded cooked chicken
1 tablespoon Kraft® Ranch Dressing
1 teaspoon Cholula® Hot Sauce
1 green onion, sliced on the bias

Steps:

  • Bring 6 cups (1.5 l) of water to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir in the macaroni and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until tender, stirring occasionally.
  • Drain the macaroni in a colander (do not rinse), then return to the pot over low heat. Add 4 tablespoons of butter, the milk, and cheese sauce mix and stir well until creamy. Remove the pot from the heat.
  • Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a medium skillet over medium heat, then add the red onion, salt, cayenne, and shredded chicken. Sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until the onion is just starting to get tender and the chicken is heated through. Mix the chicken mixture into the mac and cheese.
  • Transfer the mac and cheese to a serving bowl and drizzle the Kraft® Ranch Dressing and Cholula® Hot Sauce on top, then garnish with the sliced green onion. Serve warm.
  • Enjoy!
