Macaroni and Cheese Stir Fry image

A mix of stir-fried chicken and veggies, and macaroni and cheese. Sounds strange, but I like that the stir fried veggies are still crisp. This is more of a casserole, but with not "soggy" veggies.

Time 50m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 cups elbow macaroni, uncooked
1/2 cup frozen English peas, thawed
1/4 cup butter, divided
1 lb chicken breast halve, skinned, boned, and cut into strips
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons chicken bouillon granules
2 cups broccoli florets
1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
1 medium red bell pepper, cut into julienne strips
1 cup carrot, scraped and sliced
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/4 teaspoon lemon-pepper seasoning
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups American cheese, shredded (6 oz....you can use other types of cheese, but American melts better and is less stringy than chedda)

Steps:

  • Cook the macaroni according to package directions. Drain well and set aside.
  • Cook the peas according to package directions. Drain well and set aside. (I just add them to the macaroni towards the end of the cooking time).
  • Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large Dutch oven or wok. Add the chicken, garlic, and bouillon granules; stir fry for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the chicken is lightly browned. Remove the chicken and set aside.
  • Add the remaining 2 tbsp butter, broccoli, onion, red bell pepper, carrots, tarragon, and lemon-pepper.; stir fry for 1 minute. Cover and cook until the broccoli is tender. Stir in reserved macaroni, peas, chicken, and cook until thoroughly heated.
  • Combine flour and 1 tbsp milk; stir until it is smooth. Gradually add the remaining milk, stirring until blended. Add the milk mixture to the macaroni mixture; cook 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Add the cheese; cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese melts. Serve immediately.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I added some extra cheese and spices, and it was much better. Overall, it's a good recipe, but it needs a little tweaking. Thank you for sharing!

I followed the recipe exactly, but my macaroni and cheese stir-fry turned out dry and clumpy. I'm not sure what went wrong.
