No additional pots or dish to clean up, and negligible work with straightforward fixings. It will be difficult to return to customary Mac and Cheese after this! Stop and think for a minute: garlic + sun dried tomatoes + parmesan cheddar + mozzarella cheddar + spinach + smooth sauce + bested with container singed chicken = SO MUCH Flavor in this ONE POT Tuscan Chicken Mac And Cheese!
Since distributing this Garlic Parmesan Mac And Cheese a year ago, most perusers have been requesting that I make another comparable formula, however with MORE stuff included. This is the course my cerebrum went in on the grounds that it's evident the amount all of you cherish Tuscan. NOT customary Tuscan cooking — kindly don't holler at me — however Tuscan from Olive Garden.
In spite of the fact that this Tuscan Chicken Mac And Cheese is made in one pot, the pasta is splendidly covered in a sleek sauce filled to the overflow with as much cheddar as you need! I considered heating up the pasta first, evacuating it, at that point beginning the sauce. However, I additionally know how much my perusers love simple plans that you can simply put together in one pot or on a sheet skillet.

Instructions :
- Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, dried parsley and 2 teaspoons of the oil. Heat the remaining oil in a large (30cm or 12-inch) pot or pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden brown, cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Transfer chicken to a warm plate, tent with foil and set aside.
