Instructions
Ranch Chicken
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine chicken and ranch seasoning. Toss to coat evenly.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken in batches. Cook 1-2 minutes on each side (or until golden brown and internal temperature is 165°F). Remove from heat and tent with aluminum foil to keep warm.
-
Wipe out the skillet to use for the macaroni and cheese.
Macaroni and Cheese
-
In the skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
-
Add the flour and whisk constantly for 1-2 minutes (or until the mixture turns light brown).
-
Remove from heat and gradually pour in the warm milk, whisking constantly.
-
Return the pan to the heat and whisk another 3-5 minutes, or until thickened.
-
Add the salt, garlic powder, and ranch seasoning. Stir to combine and remove from heat.
-
Add the cheeses, stirring to melt.
-
Pour the cooked noodles over the top of the sauce. Stir to combine.
-
Season with salt and pepper, and top with the chicken, bacon, and chopped parsley.
Notes
I tested this recipe several times by adding all ingredients together and found that it wasn’t as flavorful when combined; the cheesy macaroni drowns out that fabulous ranch chicken. I highly recommend serving as shown and allowing the family to mix ingredients in their bowl should they prefer that method.
