THE BISTRO'S MAC 'N' CHEESE WITH GRILLED CHICKEN RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium heat. MACARONI BASE: In a large pot of salted, boiling water, cook the pasta al dente according to the package instructions, about 10 minutes. Drain and set aside. Heat a medium, heavy-bottom pot over medium-high heat until hot. Sauté the shallots in the olive oil until lightly colored, then add the heavy cream.

Remove from heat and reserve the base, still in the pan, in a warm place. CHICKEN: Drizzle the chicken breasts with the olive oil, and season each side of each breast with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the chopped parsley and rosemary.

MAC 'N' CHEESE ASSEMBLY: In a medium sauté pan, cook the pancetta in the oil over medium-high heat until crisp, 5 to 7 minutes. Strain the pancetta, leaving any fat in the pan. Heat the pan with the fat over medium-high heat and sprinkle over the bread crumbs. Sauté the bread crumbs until darkened and toasted, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and drain the bread crumbs on a paper towel. Heat the macaroni base over medium heat until hot, stirring frequently. While the base is heating, slice the chicken into strips. Stir the chicken into the base, then stir in the crisp pancetta, parsley and white truffle oil, tossing to coat. Divide the mac 'n' cheese among 4 serving bowls and top with the crisp bread crumbs.
