Mac 'n Cheese with Chicken Cutlets recipe by morEwish

 

The BEST Homemade Mac and Cheese! Outrageously cheesy, ultra creamy, and topped with crispy cheese layer! This mac and cheese recipe is most definitely a keeper. Homemade cheese sauce take this macaroni and cheese recipe over the top! 

Repeat after me - FRESH GRATED CHEESE ONLY! I know it’s a pain, and it’s SO tempting to use the pre-shredded cheese in the bags. But those bags of cheese contain a starchy substance that keeps the cheese from clumping… which also prohibits it from melting as well as it should.

While you can use your favorite cheeses. I personally prefer to add cheddar, colby jack, cream cheese  and Mozzarella and if I get my hands on white cheddar, but you can be very creative with the cheese selection here. Gouda, smoked gouda, swiss, monterey jack... 

Today I served Chicken cutelts to go with Mac 'n Cheese. These are simple thin slices of chicken fillets seasoned well and are breaded with breadcrumb mixture then air fried to get super crispy and flavorful. 

Used very few ingredients, quite inexpensive, this chicken cutlet recipe is so versatile you'll want to be making them all the time. You can thinly slice and top a salad for a quick lunch. Or pop into a sandwich or serve with pasta.
