Have some leftover chicken that you don't know what to do with? Transform it into a cheesy and comforting one-pot dinner sensation. Garnish with your favorite enchilada toppings if desired.

Ingredients

  • 16 ounces elbow macaroni
  • 1 can red enchilada sauce , 10 ounce
  • 1 cup half-and-half
  • 1 can chopped green chilies , 4 ounce
  • 2 cups shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 cups shredded pepperjack cheese
  • 2 cups cubed cooked chicken
  • 0.25 cups chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1

    Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  2. 2

    Combine enchilada sauce, half-and-half, and green chiles in the same pot over medium heat and cook until warm, 5 to 10 minutes. Slowly add Cheddar cheese and pepperjack cheese and whisk continuously until melted, about 5 minutes. Return cooked macaroni to the pot. Add chicken and cilantro and stir until combined and heated through, about 5 minutes more.
