Toss Some Of This Into Your Macaroni Salad For A Kick Of Protein

Summer is quickly approaching and with it comes slews of picnics, BBQs, and garden parties. What will you be serving at these get-togethers? One of my favorite things to eat at a picnic are the side dishes, especially macaroni salad. When I came across this recipe for mac salad and chicken, I was head-over-heels happy!

Macaroni salad in itself is a staple picnic food, however, when you toss some shredded chicken into the bowl, it becomes more than a side dish. It becomes a meal. I honestly could scarf on chicken macaroni salad and nothing else (maybe some dessert) because it’s so filling. Shreds of tender chicken breast intermingled with pasta and a mayo sauce is my kind of comfort food!

Quick Tip: After salad has chilled in the refrigerator for a few hours, re-moisten it with a bit of mayo and some milk, if needed.

How To Get Them To Lick Their Plates Clean!

When I was growing up, macaroni and cheese was a staple family meal at my house. Now that I’m an adult (wow, I’m an adult!) I have made mac and cheese a staple meal in my own household. However, I made one simple variation that my mother never did: I make my cheesy casserole in the slow cooker.

Cooking macaroni and cheese in the Crock Pot still tastes just as amazing as it does on the stove or in the oven, but it’s a whole lot easier to do! Plus, I find the texture to be smoother and much creamier. All you do is dump, pour, and wait. That’s it! Within a few hours, you’ll have creamy, dreamy macaroni and cheese staring you right in the face.
